]]>In addition to Pacino, Mortensen, and Travolta, this film will also star Shia LaBeouf (Honey Boy), Rebecca Pidgeon (Heist), and Courtney Love (The People vs. Larry Flynt). On top of directing the film, Mamet also co-wrote the script with Nicholas Celozzi, and the production will kick off in Vancouver, Canada this fall.
Assassination will retell the story of John F. Kennedy’s murder from the mob’s point of view, shifting the focus to the Chicago mob kingpin Sam Giancana. Conspiracy theorists often speculated he was the one who ordered JFK’s assassination as payback for trying to undermine the mob.
Arclight Films’ chairman Gary Hamilton described this film as an absolutely fantastic project, brilliantly crafted by Mamet.
“Assassination is a riveting and gripping thriller set in a pivotal period in American history… With the undeniable talent of David Mamet at the helm and our stellar cast led by Viggo Mortensen, Al Pacino, Shia LaBeouf, and John Travolta, the stars have truly aligned,” said Hamilton.

]]>Preston’s husband of almost three decades, John Travolta, revealed that she spent the last two years battling breast cancer. This was confirmed by the official statement that her family representative shared with People.
“She was a bright, beautiful, and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched. Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time,” reads the statement.
Preston’s sudden passing came as a surprise to many since she never shared her diagnoses with the world. Travolta praised her for fighting “a courageous fight with the love and support of so many,” and said he’ll take some time off to mourn her with their children.
Several Hollywood superstars sent thoughts and prayers Travolta’s way. Arnold Schwarzenegger called Preston an extraordinary actress with a big heart, while Russell Crowe described her as a “lovely person” and sent love to her family.

]]>The gig marks Travolta’s return to television following his role in American Crime Story.
In Die Hart, Hart plays a fictionalized version of himself, someone who’s tired of being the comedic sidekick. A famous director offers him the shot to be the lead in an action movie, but there’s a catch: Kevin first must train at the world’s greatest action-star school, which is run by a lunatic (Travolta). Pushed to his limits by the coach and a tough-minded rival student, Kevin must survive a series of over-the-top action sequences and face his fears if he wants to achieve his dream and land the role of a lifetime.
Travolta joins previously announced Quibi partners including Guillermo del Toro, Antoine Fuqua, Sam Raimi, Jason Blum, Steven Soderbergh, Catherine Hardwicke, Anna Kendrick, Doug Liman, Laurence Fishburne among others.

]]>The new movie, directed by Limp Bizkit’s frontman Fred Durst, has made only 3,153 dollars on Friday and will likely not reach the 15,000 dollars’ mark on the extended Labor Day weekend. It was released on 52 screens. The last movie who held the honor of being Travolta’s worst opening was 2016’s In a Valley of Violence who managed 29,343 dollars on 33 screens.
The Fanatic sees Travolta as an obsessive fan called Moose who stalks an action movie star. The movie was met with a very cold shoulder by the critics.
Recently, Travolta had praised Durst saying he blew his mind with his writing and directing. “He knew this guy Moose that’s actually loosely based on a real guy and he wrote it with me in mind. He just knew I could portray this guy,” said the actor.
