Although Kelly Preston recently gave birth to a new son, that still doesn’t change the fact that she’s a complete Scientology whackjob. Further, she’s a whackjob who can’t seem to land any new acting roles on her own and without the help of husband John Travolta, with whom she’s appeared in the last few years in both Old Dogs and From Paris with Love (in the very prestigious uncredited role of “Woman on Eiffel tower”). Now, she’s joined John again (as well as cracked-out Linnocent) to play his onscreen wife:
The upcoming John Gotti biopic is becoming a real family affair.
Actress Kelly Preston has been cast to play the Dapper Don’s wife Victoria DiGiorgio, opposite her real life husband John Travolta.
And the couple’s 11-year-old daughter Ella Bleu will play their on-screen daughter Angel.
“We’re really excited to have Kelly on board. We are friends with the Travoltas, and they have great chemistry. It will be great onscreen. It’s a very tender relationship in the screenplay,” producer Marc Fiore told the Daily News.
The Travolta clan will be joined by 12-stepping starlet Lindsay Lohan who’s set to play Kim Gotti, the wife of mob scion John (Junior) Gotti.
“I think she’s going to rock the part. She’s going to impress a lot of people,” Fiore said of Lohan, who is embroiled in a jewelry theft case.
Producers have yet to cast the roles of John Jr. and his blonde bombshell sister, Victoria.
The flick, titled Gotti: Three Generations, is slated to begin filming in New York in January and hit theaters in late 2012.

Other than Travolta (who isn’t all that lately himself), this entire cast is shaping up to be one hell of a joke, and now John and Kelly are dragging Ella Bleu in the “family business” too. Honestly, this movie seems better suited for a Lifetime release than in actual theaters, right? It would have been more interesting if the script wasn’t entirely Gotti approved, but now it’s pretty obvious that the whole family story will be completely whitewashed and ultimately uninteresting too.

The Xenu Mafia meets the Italian Mafia.
Sounds awful.
What a fiasco this movie will be (if it’s even made)!
Who is financing this shit show? CoS? The Gottis? Lifetime, indeed. I will be stunned if this movie isn’t straight-to-DVD.
Lohan to go Co$? Now that will be a cracked out mess.
blonde bombshell sister, Victoria.
WHA? Who is writing this crap?
This sounds like it will be the worst movie of all time. Kelly Preston cannot act she is so wooden. It’s almost like John made a bargain that if they signed Lindsay Lohan they had to sign his family too.
What the hell is wrong with his FACE?!?! He looks like a wax statue of himself!
Well now…thats why Travolta didn’t back out when they signed Lohan. Got a job for everyone in his family. Gotta say, this movie doesn’t appeal to me in the least. Can’t imagine it doing well at all. Not the greatest lineup of actors.
Well this is a sad state of affairs. I always have it in the back of my mind that I should feel sorry for this family because of the son they lost- the son they refused to treat appropriately because of their crazy ass xenu beliefs- but I can’t. They are a bizarre, completely delusional duo, that now want to indoctrinate their daughter into bad movies. It’s hard to believe J.T. was ever Vinnie Barbarino!
This movie is going to suck big time, because Lindsay is in it. Kelly Preston, from the movies I have seen her in, have all sucked. In my opinion, this movie has no chance.
In the third pic, JT looks like he is wearing a mask. Freaky.
My Lawd! Did they lend Madame Tussaud wax statue of Travolta? Wait! The wax statue is more “human looking”: His toupee, his chalky skin (please, lay off the foundation) tighten up eyes . One step closer to Burt Reynols or Kenny Rogers! I swear he looks like the wax of Marylin Monroe on Hollywood and Highland!
John, John – what happened to you? You used to look gorgeous (50 pounds ago!) – you used to make good movies! Now, you look awful and I expect nothing but awfulness in this movie about the Gotti’s – I wonder if there will be even a hint of truth in the movie! Sad.
@ Marjalane i always feel like this family will always have touches of sad around them, losing a family member is awful. i am very happy for them and their new baby.
HOWEVER…. Kelly has never been that great of an actress, if you look at her IMDB profile she has never been much of a star. In fact i had never heard of her until Jerry Maguire and was shocked to hear how many high profile relationships she had in Hollywood during the 80’s for begin totally d-list. Which made me think her real job was HIGH PRICE ESCORT until she landed the ultimate beard gig. I never really thought about until little Sci’s mother came out with her “I knew i was goign to marry tom cruise when i was a little girl, i had his poster above my bed.” UH HUH because you know who also said something similar, Kelly Preston of the JT, ” i knew when i say his movie poster for Saturday night fever that he was the man i was going to marry, i even told my mother.”
CO$ you need to work on better back stories for your beards. But yeah she cannot land a gig without COS or JT.
I don’t think this is good news for Lindsay being in this movie no matter how hard they spin it.
I can’t imagine they’re going to want their little daughter anywhere near Linds.
Not that I think Linds will get her act together enough to even be able to film. There will be some mysterious explanation of why she didn’t make the cut.
JT’s spray-on GI Joe flocked hair has been creeping me out for years.
Totally low-budget talent.
Why not make it a family affair and let baby Ben make a cameo too! Shesh, I can see Ella working along side her Dad, but Kelly should get her own acting gigs. If she keeps working in the same films with John, it will be hard for her to get jobs on her own. I agree with anoneemouse, Kelly is wooden as an actress, she’s the equivalent to Keanu Reeves and Kristen Stewart.
jr.’s got total mobster pants
Wow, & we thought it was going to bad before… I still refuse to believe Lohan will manage to get to ‘filming’.
This is going to be a train wreck. & not the fun kind we all slow down on the highway to watch. The kind with burning dead bodies scattered everywhere.
@Relli: ding ding ding!
Please John just go bald and let the air outta your face. Telly Savalas, Anthony Quinn, both stayed in old age. His hair looks painted and what’s happened to his mouth?
