Travolta has been cast in a short format comedy-action series, Die Hart, one of dozens of series in the works at Quibi. He will star opposite series lead Kevin Hart. 

In the series, Hart plays a fictionalized version of himself, someone who’s tired of being the comedic sidekick. A famous director offers him the shot to be the lead in an action movie, but there’s a catch: Kevin first must train at the world’s greatest action-star school, which is run by a lunatic (Travolta). Pushed to his limits by the coach and a tough-minded rival student, Kevin must survive a series of over-the-top action sequences and face his fears if he wants to achieve his dream and land the role of a lifetime.

Travolta joins previously announced Quibi partners including Guillermo del Toro, Antoine Fuqua, Sam Raimi, Jason Blum, Steven Soderbergh, Catherine Hardwicke, Anna Kendrick, Doug Liman, Laurence Fishburne among others.

It has been confirmed that the film, which was due for domestic release in the studio’s Lionsgate Premiere banner, has been sold back to production company Emmett/Furla/Oasis.

Producers of the movie about the life of mobster John Gotti, head of the infamous Gambino family, will seek new distribution, which means a 2018 release is most likely.

Starring in the movie alongside Travolta is his wife, Kelly Preston as Victoria Gotti and Stacy Keach as Gotti’s mentor, Aniello Dellacroce. Lem Hobbs and Leo Rossi penned the script and Kevin Connolly directed. Connolly previously told EW of the film, saying: “there are nice cars and fancy suits in the movie, but we’re also showing where all that eventually leads,” adding that while HBO made a Gotti movie in 1996 it didn’t cover too much, and that there’s a “different angle that we’re going to explore.”

No details regarding the reason for the sale have been released.
