SAVANNAH, GA.- He’s a busy man! John Travolta is in Georgia, and is already back to work on a new movie called “The Poison Rose” just days after his latest project “Gotti” hit theaters.
Gotti followed the life of crime boss John Gotti Jr., but failed to meet expectations. Don’t let that put a damper on your excitement for “The Poison Rose” though. Travolta has enlisted some big names to join him on set in Savannah. The cast includes Morgan Freeman, Famke Jenssen and Peter Stormare.
“The Poison Rose” follows Carson Phillips, an ex-football star turned private investigator who develops a soft spot for a woman in distress. He agrees to take on a seemingly routine missing person case which turns into a complex web of crime, suspects and dead bodies. Phillips, played by Travolta, must race against the clock to solve the case when his own daughter turns out to be a main suspect.
George Gallo is directing the film In the past he worked on movies such as “Wise Guys” and “Bad Boys.” Rich Salvatore is adapting his own novel of the same name into the script for “The Poison Rose.” He has also teamed his own company, March On Productions, with Moonrise Pictures to handle the production.
