John Travolta's directorial debut, based on his 1997 children's book Propeller One-Way Night Coach, will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. The film follows an 8-year-old boy named Jeff, whose mother moves to Hollywood, allowing him to pursue his dream of flying. The cast includes newcomer Clark Shotwell as Jeff and Kelly Eviston-Quinnett as his mother, with Travolta's daughter, Ella Bleu, playing a flight attendant. This marks Travolta's return to Cannes after last debuting a film there in 1998.
"The movie is based on Travolta's 1997 children's book, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, and will screen in the Debussy Theater at the Palais des Festivals."
"The book follows Jeff, an 8-year-old boy whose actress mother moves to Hollywood, enabling him to achieve his dream of flying in a plane."
"This is the second movie confirmed to be premiering at Cannes, with the festival revealing that the opening-night film will be Pierre Salvadori's La Vénus Électrique."
"Travolta was a Cannes mainstay in the '90s, and this marks his return to the festival after last debuting a film there in 1998."
