In 1994, John Dahl was set to direct "Meltdown", an action thriller starring
Dolph Lundgren based on a
John Carpenter screenplay and the novel "The Prometheus Crisis" (from the authors of 'The Glass Inferno'). The production was shut down only days before the start of principal photography because of a legal dispute between Miramax and Trimark pictures regarding distribution. The project remained unproduced after other attempts to get it off the ground.
