Actor John Travolta ('Pulp Fiction') will showcase his directorial debut at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, which will take place from May 12 to 23. The film is titled 'Propeller: One-Way Night Coach.' This is reported by Variety.
The film is based on Travolta's book of the same name, which was released in 1997. The premiere will take place out of competition in the 'Cannes Premieres' section at the Debussy Theatre, with a global release on Apple TV+ scheduled for May 29. The 72-year-old actor, who has over 70 works in his filmography, has been nurturing this project for decades.
The plot of the film unfolds in the 'golden age of aviation.' Young airplane enthusiast Jeff (Clark Shotwell) embarks on a cross-country journey to Hollywood with his mother (Kelly Eviston-Quinnett). They encounter unusual passengers, unexpected stops, and charming flight attendants (including Ella Bleu Travolta, John Travolta's daughter) — all of which will shape the boy's future.
