Duhamel will portray Alex, an Army veteran and counselor in a small town who takes a casual approach when treating Josh (Till).

Alex slowly earns his patient’s trust and respect, but their camaraderie is challenged when Josh makes a shocking discovery.

The ensemble indie drama, which begins filming Sunday in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was written by Oscar Torres.

Duran, Torres, Danny Rodriguez and Phyllis Laing are producing the film.

Duran has previously worked on a number of short films, advertising campaigns and music videos, including Ricky Martin’s behind the scenes/documentary feature for the singer’s Black & White tour.

Following his star-making run on Dancing with the Stars, William Levy is experiencing a massive career boom in Hollywood… And, now he’s locked-in his next project.

The 31-year-old Cuban-American telenovela superstar—who guest-starred on VH1’s Single Ladies earlier this year, in his first acting role on an English-language television series—is starring in the western-action-drama film Boom Town.

“I love Boom Town because it’s a love story between a love and a woman; [also] a story about the unbreakable bond between a father and his little girl,” said Levy. “And it’s the story of an everyday man stepping up and becoming a hero, something all of us as children dream of becoming one day” concludes the Latin dancing sensation.

Produced by award-winning screenwriter Oscar Torres and written by Christian Sesma, Boom Town tells the story of a savvy businessman (Levy) in the early 1900s, who becomes the target of a corrupt border town sheriff and a notorious land boss after they discover that he’s sitting on a fortune. But this unassuming young man might be more of a hustler than anyone knows.

“The men will love the action and the women the charm and talent that someone like William Levy brings to the big- screen,” proclaims Torres.

Along with Levy, the film will star Alfred Molina, Chris Cooper and Danny Trejo.

Boom Town, currently in pre-production, is slated for a summer 2013 release.
