New Trailer For John Travolta's True Crime Mafia Biopic GOTTI
"This life of ours is a wonderful life... if you can get away with it."
We've got a new trailer for John Travolta's upcoming crime drama Gotti, which tells the story of the rise and fall of one of the most famous mafia bosses of all time, John Gotti. Travolta takes on the role of the infamous 'Teflon Don' and it looks like he gives a solid performance. Gotti seemed like a bit of an over-the-top kind of guy and Travolta nails that here. This looks like the best film project that the actor has been a part of in a long time.
Gotti follows infamous crime boss John Gotti’s (Travolta) rise to become the “Teflon Don” of the Gambino Crime Family in New York City. Spanning three decades and recounted by his son John Jr. (Spencer Lofranco), GOTTI examines Gotti’s tumultuous life as he and his wife (Kelly Preston) attempt to hold the family together amongst tragedy and multiple prison sentences.
Travolta is also joined in the film by Pruitt Taylor Vince (Monster, Heroes Reborn), Stacy Keach (American History X, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For), Chris Mulkey (Captain Phillips, First Blood), and William DeMeo. Travolta’s real-life wife, Kelly Preston, and their daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, are also in the movie.
Gotti was directed by Kevin Connolly, who played ‘E’ on Entourage, and it was written by Leo Rossi and Lem Dobbs (Dark City, Haywire).
Lionsgate will release the film in theaters and On Demand on December 15th, 2017.
