The production company behind "Bordertown," a movie starring Jennifer Lopez that was partially filmed in The Tribune's offices, has paid back a defaulted state loan with interest.

Mobius Entertainment/Bordertown Productions Inc. defaulted in March 2006 on $2.35 million borrowed from the state through the film investment program. Last week the company paid more than $2.6 million, including a 9.3 percent interest penalty.

The loan is the only one to have defaulted among 19 film and TV projects that the state has loaned nearly $176 million to during the past four years. About $25 million has been repaid, according to the State Investment Council.

"Bordertown" is set to be released in the United States in the fall. Directed by Gregory Nava, it aims to focus attention on the killing of hundreds of women around Juarez during the past 14 years.
