Bruce Willis & John Travolta To Reteam For First Time Since ‘Pulp Fiction’ In ‘Paradise City’; Praya Lundberg Also Stars Deadline 2 hrs ago
Paradise City. Production starts this Monday in Maui, Hawaii.
Willis plays renegade bounty hunter, Ryan Swan, who must carve his way through the Hawaiian crime world to wreak vengeance on the kingpin, played by Travolta, who murdered his father. I’m told the project is billed as being similar to
Miami Vice but with bounty hunters instead of cops. Thai actress and model Praya Lundberg has landed the lead female role.

Paradise City technically reps the fourth time that Willis and Travolta are billed on a movie together, they only worked onscreen in the 1994 Oscar-winning $214M-grossing Quentin Tarantino movie

The show first aired on FXX back in 2005 (which is actually owned by Disney), and it’s still going strong. In fact, at the end of 2020, the series was renewed for at least three more seasons. Danny DeVito, the most famous name on the show, estimates that he only made $70K per season during the first few seasons.

Power lunch. What is that phrase? Where did it come from? According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, it is an occasion at which people eat lunch while they are working and talking about business. We at

That heliocentric sense of vanity dates all the way back to the birth of cinema. But it took root in earnest in the 1950s, when Billy Wilder’s twisted take on Tinseltown,
Sunset Boulevard, was nominated for 11 statuettes. Tellingly, it was only one-upped by Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s backstage feud-fest
All About Eve (yes, that film is technically set in the world of the theater, but it’s still a brilliantly acidic expose on the tribal rites and insecurities of actors).
Eve would sweep the awards in 1951, earning a record 14 nods and winning in six categories including Best Picture. The self-congratulatory back-patting didn’t stop there. Actually, it was just getting started. With foreign-language films such as Francois Truffaut’s 1973 inside-baseball classic
