Since Playback is a Canadian publication, would the budget be quoted in Canadian dollars?
Anyway I learned to no longer trust those published figures which are blown up most of the time...

Hollywood North: Lundgren signs on for action thriller
Vancouver Sun
Published: Wednesday, August 06, 2008
Most people will remember the Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren as Sylvester Stallone's Russian opponent, Ivan Drago, in Rocky IV. He got the part after a nine-month audition process that involved 5,000 hopefuls. Now Vancouver-based Insight Film Studios has signed on the fleshy actor to both direct and act in Icarus, a $6-million action thriller.
Insight president/executive producer Kirk Shaw recently flew Lundgren in to have dinner, meet with a local scriptwriter, scout locations and seal the deal. "We're writing the script to location which can be a little more cost effective," said Shaw, who added the script has just come in and it looks good.
Filming is set to begin in October and last for about five weeks.
