Keep in mind final summer, when all these orcas had been attacking wealthy folks’s yachts? Properly, Hollywood has unsurprisingly gotten its arms on the concept, and is about to show it into an motion thriller (albeit with sympathetic orcas). And the person they’ve chosen to captain their ship is none aside from Danny Zuko himself, John Travolta. Deadline has the story.

As a director, I think about myself lucky to affix a listing of acclaimed filmmakers who’ve had the privilege of attending to know John as an artist and an individual.”
What Harlin does not point out is his emotions about being one of many first administrators to carry TRavolta out into the open sea for an journey, which you’d assume could be on the prime of his thoughts. In spite of everything, we’re speaking about John Travolta, the actor who began his complete profession by…
