She also was to executive produce the movie. Production nevertheless is expected to still kick off in April as scheduled. (Deadline.com)

Smith then is set as John Keene, "who has barely slept since the murder of his 13-year-old sister, Natalie. His sensitive and temperamental nature raises eyebrows and causes him to become a prime suspect in the murder investigation." (Deadline.com)
