FLINT (Lifetime) - Cher has bowed out of the original movie - the story of three women from Flint who fought to expose the wrongdoing committed against the residents of the city who were unknowingly drinking and using lead-laden water - "citing a family issue that would prevent her from traveling to Toronto where Flint is slated to begin production next month." 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)
