"Bordertown," a movie starring Jennifer Lopez and filmed in New Mexico more than two years ago, won't be showing at a theater near you any time soon.

The film was scheduled for release in some U.S. cities on Oct. 19. But its distributor, ThinkFilm Co., took "Bordertown" off its list because of "circumstances beyond our control," said Dylan Marchetti, ThinkFilm's director of distribution and marketing.

"We're unsure as to when it will return," Marchetti said.

He declined to give more details as to why the film was removed.

"Bordertown" is based on the true story of the killings of hundreds of women in Juarez. It was directed by Gregory Nava, and the cast includes Martin Sheen and Antonio Banderas, in addition to Lopez.

Part of the film was shot in The Tribune's newsroom in June 2005.

Budgeted at $21 million, the film's producer, Mobius Entertainment/Bordertown Productions Inc. defaulted on a $2.35 million loan from the state film investment program in March 2006.

It paid off the loan, with interest, at more than $2.6 million in June.

It is the only film so far to default on a loan by the film office, which has worked with about 19 TV and film projects.
