Seriously, who did John Travola p*** off in Hollywood? Despite an impressive, Tarantino-fueled comeback in the mid-90s, the guy's been in straight-to-video jail for quite some time now, starring in hilariously-titled movies such as I Am Wrath, Life on the Line and Killing Season.

In fact, Travolta's last bonafide box office hit was almost a decade ago with 2009's Old Dogs, which ironically also led to him receiving a Worst Actor Razzie nomination.

At least Travolta recently earned Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for playing lawyer Robert Shapiro on American Crime Story, but in terms of enticing upcoming movie projects, it's hard to expect much from movies with titles like Speed Kills and Trading Paint, which will presumably go direct-to-streaming.
