John Travolta Skips Movie’s Promotional Tour
Opting to skip his latest film’s promotional appearances, grieving father John Travolta posted a message to fans on his website, encouraging them to check out The Taking of Pelham 123.
“The Taking of Pelham 123 from Sony Picture is scheduled to be released on June 12, 2009. It was a labor of love to work on this film with the producers Todd Black, Steve Tisch and Jason Blumenthal, the director Tony Scott, and fellow cast members Denzel Wasington, Luis Guzman, John Turturro and James Gandolfini.”
Travolta also thanked his fellow cast members for picking up the slack and allowing him to be at home:
“Tony, Denzel, Luis, John, James and Sony Pictures stepped up without hesitation to help promote this wonderful fiml, and their unselfish efforts have allowed my family the additional time to reconcile our loss.”
John and his family are obviously still reeling from the sudden death of Jett this January in the Bahamas. The official cause of death was a seizure.
The film — a remake of an old subway hostage movie from the 70s — actually looks pretty exciting, and it’s loaded with a star-studded cast. It’s a shame for John that the timing turned out to be so tragic for him and his family.
