John Travolta Presents ‘Grease’ at 12th IFF Panama, Declares Desire to Work With Latino Filmmakers
In Panama to present 'Grease' at the 12th Panama International Film Festival, John Travolta declared his great love for Latin America.
Surprised to hear that Robert de Niro had starred in the Argentine series “Nada,” Travolta exclaimed: “I would have loved that, I would have enjoyed being lured to South America to play a part for a while.” The closest he’s come to working with a Latino director was with Alfonso Cuarón, who produced the short film streaming on Disney+ “The Shepherd,” based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1975 novella, which follows a young Royal Air Force pilot flying home for Christmas across the North Sea. Appearing for a Q&A after “Grease” played to a rapturous audience that sang along and clapped after the musical numbers, he talked about his loving, supportive parents and his contribution to the editing of “Saturday Night Fever,” where his dance sequences were originally limited to close-ups and so his footwork, on which he trained for months, were not seen.
