The movie is from von Zerneck/Sertner Films, with the company's Frank von Zerneck and Robert M. Sertner executive producing alongside William Gilmore and Charles Lenhoff. Peter Werner Will direct and serve as co-executive producer, with Randy Sutter producing.
Circuit was written by Bill Hanley, with rewrites by Quinton Peeplescq and Janet Brownell.
Campbell's credits include The 4400, The O.C. and Once and Again. He is repped by CAA and Sean Fay at 1 Management.
Trachtenberg's credits include Six Feet Under and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is repped by CAA, manager Peg Donegan at Framework and attorney Ira Schreck.

ABC has greenlighted a three-hour biopic about Natalie Wood with Oscar-nominated director Peter Bogdanovich on board to direct and British actress Justine Waddell set to portray the late Hollywood star. The yet-untitled film, which will air during the 2003-04 season, is based on Suzanne Finstads' book Natasha: The Biography of Natalie Wood. Elizabeth Egloff wrote the small-screen adaptation, which is set to start production in the winter in Australia. Gerald W. Abrams (TNT's Nuremberg), Bob Sertner, Frank von Zerneck (We Were the Mulvaneys) and Finstad are executive producing, with Richard Fischoff and Randy Sutter producing. Wood's sister, Lana Wood, will co-produce. The movie will focus on Wood's deep inner conflict between her real self -- Natasha Zakharenko, born to Russian immigrants in San Francisco -- and the glamorous Natalie Wood persona created by her ambitious mother and shaped by the powerful studio system.
