Although details are being kept under wraps, it concerns an ongoing unsolved mystery in which one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover-up.

Jovovich's character investigates the disappearances.

A late-June start is being eyed. The Gold Circle Films project marks the feature directing debut of Olatunde Osunsanmi, who also wrote the script.

Jovovich, star of the "Resident Evil" zombie movies, is in production on "A Perfect Getaway."
