From Paris With Love: Travolta Goes Balder, More Ridiculous

Lets face it, John Travolta has done some really stupid movies in his day. And to his credit, no matter how ridiculous the character he generally gives himself the opportunity to pull it off without looking like a complete moron (save for that little blunder known as Battlefield Earth). But in the trailer below, which is for his upcoming movie From Paris With Love, Travolta takes the idiocy to a whole new level. He stars alongside The Tudors’ Jonathan Rhys Meyers as rogue American spy who teams up with a more conservative agent on a high risk mission in and around Paris, France. From director Pierre Morel, who directed the hit actioner District B13 and the upcoming spy thriller Taken, this movie has all kinds of potential. It was also written by French action dealer Luc Besson, who you may remember as the man who birthed the Transporter series. Though, even all of that potential seems wasted when one considers the trailer below. Check it out, hopefully you’ll see what I mean.

From Paris with Love is scheduled to hit theaters on December 17, 2009. The photo above comes to us from our friends at TheBadandUgly. Hat tip on the trailer below goes to Christopher M.

What do you think of the first trailer for From Paris with Love?

This can't be real... he's done some shitty movies, but this looks like it lays at the bottom of the 34 layers of shit he's compiled.

Wow. Just wow. The only thing worse than, basically everything about that movie, is the fact they used a CGI projectile coming out of that missile tube, when running a real model down a wire looks 1,000 times better and costs 1,000 times less.

that was the worst rocket launch I have ever seen!! My kid could set up a more realistic wire line rocket for $12.99 @ Hobby Lobby

This movie looks really, really bad! He is trying to be funny (i think).

Was this produced in europe? Why would they shop this in France before the US?? Travolta should do his Jerry Lewis impersonation and then the French would love him.

WoW - that looks absolutely terrible. I call 6 million max on that one.
Trash!

WTF

Agreed. That was weak-a$$. Took me right outta the trailer...of course I wasn't really into the trailer from the beginning.

Oh...Where's Hobby Lobby? I need to buy some model paint and some supplies.

John Travolta is clearly a talented actor.. It's too bad his celebrity has overshadowed his talent. Whenever I see him in a really great acting role, I can't help but wonder where they all studied. A good acting school is worth it’s weight in gold. The key is to find one that caters to your individual needs. Not only do you need the basic tools for auditioning, scene study and the like, but you need a curriculum that works with whatever your schedule may be. Whether you work all day, go to high school or care for your kids, not everyone can study in the traditional way. Another acting program that works this way is Film Connection. http://www.film-connection.com/Acting.htmlTheFilm Connection’s acting program is affiliated with Joe Anthony studios and fetures valuable one-on-one mentoring. They are also available to anyone living in the United States and have financial aid assistance.
