    What are you, a three year old?

• What a surprise. Next up, the CEO of Scientology will play his son…

• The Mafia meets Scientology. Anybody remember the Mafia-meets-vampire flick “Innocent Blood?” Unfortunately, the combo of the two evils is nearly unstoppable.

• I could be wrong, but I don’t think Travolta’s ever had a hit playing a bad guy since his comeback, “Pulp Fiction.” Audiences seem to want to see him playing somebody they can root for.

  • What about BATTLEFIELD EARTH, he played a baddie in that …. oh wait, you said “hit”, not “shit”.

    Poor career choices, poor representation since Tarantino rediscovered him; a few good ones here and there, but overall, they ruined him by putting him in crap like OLD DOGS and WILD HOGS (while the latter made money, it ruins his image as a serious actor).

    • He’s been laughing all the way to the bank. All I can say is lazy, lazy, lazy. Don’t forget he was already loaded before Tarantino “rediscovered” him. For some reason people think he was down and out because he hadn’t made a decent pictures for years before Pulp Fiction. It is pretty hard to take him seriously in anything anymore.

  • Thought he was a great baddie in both “Broken Arrow” and “Face/Off,” half-decent baddie in “Swordfish.” Other shit (friggin’ “Punisher”), not so much, but give credit where credit is due.

• Why do I feel like this entire project is some sort of Ponzi scheme or offshore banking job? I mean, Stuttering John from the Howard Stern Show is a producer on this. How real can it be?

  One day there’s a press conference with Nick Cassavetes. The next day, Barry Levinson is attached? Lindsay Lohan is on board then she’s not? There’s a script and there isn’t? “Sure, Mr. Travolta. Your wife. Yeah, whatever.”

  Someone will be at Soho House later ordering up a half dozen bottles of Crystal and writing it off as “catering.”

  • Yeah, this sounds like it’s going to be about as good as ATLAS SHRUGGED, and on par with its poor and amateurish quality. Travolta and other serious talent should pull out ASAP. Jolie was attached to ATLAS for the longest time. Methinks all the real talent will drop out of this and it will become an A&E MOW.

  • Yeah, whenever there are too many announcements, it’s bound to be something fishy, and bound to come out crap. The Soho House Crystal comment is spot-on. I was actually imagining all of them at Cannes so pickled in rosé they’re pink, making daily announcements in Screen about pre-sales to Benelux. They’ve already got more producers attached to it than a SlamDance entry.

    To begin with, the title is idiotic and noodle-brained. Is this some Staten Island saga? I can barely sit through an episode of “Mob Wives” without over-picking my nose, even though I have to say the sheer histrionics of it is hilarious.

    I would stop reporting this story, unless it’s treated as a running joke.

• Who better to play John Travolta’s wife in this movie then the same person who plays his wife in real life?

  • No.

• Wait a minute, it’s an Indie film? Wasn’t Lindsay Lohan through TMZ screaming that it’s $85 million movie? And now who will play Victoria Gotti? Kim Kardashian? Paris Hilton?

• This sounds more like next season’s participants in Dancing With The Stars than a movie.
