This movie is DOOMED if it even gets made at all.

........or released. I think it's Junior Gotti's ultimate mob joke.

The scheme is that first you put up a nobody producer who is Teflon for when things go bad. Then you promise a lot of money to established Hollywood types like Travolta, Pacino and Levinson.

Their vulnerabilities are obvious. While Travolta can act sometimes, let's face it -- he ain't one of the world's great intellects and has always succumbed to bad business advice. Plus he's addicted to expensive hobbies like big mansions, buying/flying jets and giving money to the Scientologists. Then there's Pacino. They say he's still a good stage actor, but Pacino's been a paycheck whore in movies at least since "Scent of a Woman." He needs the $$$ to fund his stage career and lifestyle. I know little about Levinson, but it must be at least 15 years since his last successful movie.

If Lindsay Lohan is still in this monstrosity, what can be said about that that isn't already obvious?

Once you announce the big names, you keep fueling the hype with all kinds of grand pronouncements, like there's a $450 million budget! Really? From whom?

Then, when put up or shut up time comes, all kinds of "Creative Differences" arise, the stars can't get their money and the whole thing falls apart. Or becomes something much smaller, like the Armand Assante movie.

Meanwhile, the investors get screwed. OK, so some of them were taking tax write-offs or maybe they're in Junior Gotti's former line of work, but someone get ye old shaft. And someone else pockets the proceeds. Wanna take a guess on who that might be?
