Hollywood legends and Pulp Fiction co-stars Bruce Willis and John Travolta reunite in the brand-new trailer for Paradise City. The clip gives viewers a glimpse into the scenic new action movie which will be released in theaters, via digital, and on-demand on November 11th by Saban Films. It is directed by Chuck Russell from a script by Corey Large and Edward John Drake.
Starring Bruce Willis and John Travolta, Paradise City tells the story of Ian Swan, a bounty hunter who is shot and presumed dead after disappearing into the blue waters of Maui. Following his death, Swan’s son Ryan and his ex-partner team up with a local detective to find his killers. But when Ryan and his team are threatened by a ruthless power broker, they find themselves a little out of their depth.
However, when the trio makes it to the guarded and isolated island community of Paradise City, they are met with an unforeseen ally who will change everything. “Are you dangerous?” Bruce Willis’ character is asked by John Travolta as the bad guy in the trailer. “Not to my friends,” Willis replies. “That’s too bad because I have enough friends,” is the cold response.
The rest of the Paradise City trailer is filled with a montage of fast-paced, high-action scenes. So Bruce Willis and John Travolta fans can expect bullets, threats, and quips to fly. Sadly, the movie’s release comes as the Die Hard star stepped away from acting following a diagnosis of aphasia, which causes difficulties with both language and speech. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter in March, his family said they appreciate everyone’s love, compassion, and support at this difficult time.
While Bruce Willis is retiring, Jon Travolta will be starring in another movie from Saban Films called American Metal. The new action-thriller tells the story of a struggling family man who is pushed, through pure desperation, to rob a pill mill. But when the job turns violent, he finds himself hunted by the police and the mafia ruling over Dixieland. The film is Nicholas Maggio’s directorial debut, according to Collider.
Although they may have not reached legendary status like Bruce Willis, John Travolta stars opposite a talented cast in American Metal. This includes is Stephen Dorff who previously starred in Blade and Immortals, as well as Shiloh Fernandez of Evil Dead fame, Ashley Benson from Spring Breakers, and Kevin Dillon. Principal photography on the project recently wrapped in Georgia earlier this year and the film is currently in post-production.
Meanwhile, fans can relive another Bruce Willis and John Travolta classic before their new offering is released. The pair previously starred in the seminal 1994 Quentin Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction. The title refers to the pulp magazines and popular crime novels which circulated during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue. As such, the movie tells several stories of crime in Los Angeles. It also features performances by Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman.
