John Travolta’s French Disaster Movie

Art is supposed to be the universal language, but that language has its limit. The limit is apparently John Travolta. Travolta's upcoming flick, From Paris with Love, was supposed to film a scene in the Les Bosquets estate, where the Paris riots began three years ago, in order to show solidarity with the local people. It didn’t quite work out that way. Ten stunt cars were destroyed by fire. Local residents originally welcomed the project, but were upset by paltry pay and compensation. The production company said filming will be "suspended until tempers cool down," but officials expect it to be abandoned for good.
