John Travolta to Play John Gotti

[bluesbassman]

I think he can pull it off. Who else do you feel could do the part justice?

John Travolta is set to play John Gotti Sr., the mobster known as the Dapper Don, in the indie pic Gotti: Three Generations.

Nick Cassavetes will direct the screenplay by Leo Rossi, which focuses on the relationship between John Gotti Sr., the head of the Gambino crime family who died in prison in 2002, and his son John Gotti Jr., who took over the family business for his father, served time in prison, but then successfully escaped conviction in four subsequent racketeering trials.

I think he has the chops for the part.

5. I rolled my eyes when Travolta was cast to play Clinton, but he totally nailed the part.

Yeh, he's a little odd. But don't underestimate Travolta as an actor. He's deceptively remarkable.
