John Travolta Refocuses Violent-Trailer Attention On NYC
Trailer day continues at Defamer with a glimpse at John Travolta's latest firearm-toting, urban-obliterator role in the upcoming remake of The Taking of Pelham 123.
With the tighter confines of a New York City subway car to contain him, Travolta has downgraded his Parisian bazooka for a more conveniently terrorizing handgun. And as the heavily tattooed hijacker to Denzel Washington's transit worker-turned-crisis negotiator, he's surrendered the adorable leather-daddy exterior we had hoped he'd maintain for at least a few more roles. Alas, the savagery is complete. As for the rest, we're still not convinced the 1974 original required a visit from the End of Ideas fairy, but who can say really say no to Tony Scott? Oh. Well, give it a look anyway.
