Helmed by Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark director and creative consultant Philip Wm. McKinley, Last Dance, according to producers, “is a tale from the ’70s when enough was never enough. A joyful celebration of disco dreams, glitter balls and dangerous delights. It’s a story about a time, not so long ago, when a man wrote songs for the woman he thought he’d never loseā¦ ‘Disco Forever!'”
