I wonder if this movie is finally gonna happen. It has come up a bunch of times in Hollywood over the past 20 years. It was VERY close to getting made about 12 years ago with Ridley and Tony Scot producing. Looked like even Russel Crowe may have been in the run to play Don (since Scotfree pictures had so much success with him in a bunch of movies and they liked working with each other). But then there was some script issues. It went back for a re-write a few times and they couldn't get it right. Then it faded to the back burner again. Scotfree had the rights last I heard. Wonder if they're still involved. I'll have to reach out to a buddy and find out.
On the topic of John Travolta. I'm not a big fan of his acting. Could care less if he likes dudes or believes in some crazy alien god, whatever. 99% of Hollywood is SUPER CRAZY anyway. He just seems to play the same part. he likes playing bad guys and it doesn't work. I met him (and Hugh Jackman and Haley Barrie) while working on the set of Sword Fish. He was very nice to everyone around him. So was Jackman, Barrie was a little more stand-off-ish.
Anyway, If they're getting ready to shoot. There most likely won't be a change in the title role. Stuck with Travolta.
By the way, who's Paul Castro? Says he has close ties to the family and is advising on the script.
