Anyone know anything about this movie or if it is finished yet?

From Hollywood.com:

HOLLYWOOD, March 8, 2001 -- Minnie Driver ("Return to Me") has signed on to star with Philip Seymour Hoffman in Canadian Alliance Atlantis Motion Pictures' "Owning Molony," a film based on the nonfiction book "Stung" by Gary Ross. Richard Kwietniowski ("Love and Death on Long Island") will direct.

Driver will play the girlfriend of Brian Moloney (Hoffman), a mild-mannered Toronto bank manager who has a serious gambling problem. Miraculously, he is given access to an unsupervised account of $20 million and manages to gamble away $12 million in 18 months.

Execs hope to start production before the impending actors' and writers' strikes this summer.
