Im pretty sure its supposed to be coming out next year. will jon travolta playing gotti. (which i dont know how thats going to work out). and initially gottis daughter victoria was being played by linsdey lohan which i think is an embarresment. There was also rumors of joe P sueing the film makers for promising him a good spot then demoting his part in the movie.

I was pretty sure this project got canned. The producer not having the money to follow through or something. Its in the archives somewhere.

last i heard (its in my sites archives) they managed to secure new funding and are going to start filming early next yr i believe

I heard they were starting to film in the fall this year?

I heard John Gotti's ghost sued the makes of this film for plagiarism. He also threatened to haunt them down.

wow sonny thats pretty crazy, what did his acting job get to his head?? and i heard that the movie is/was going to cost a large amount of money. I think al pacino is/was supposed to play a part.

link to news about pesci's lawsuit and still possibly playing a part.

Gotti, Gotti, the man just keeps coming back. There is so much more to tell, so many more mobsters and schemes that would make for interesting movies. People are just fascinated by this guy who was an idiot for making headlines an almost destroyed a multi-million dollar money making machine that's called the Gambino Family.

For example, how about the Chin? More powerful, much, much smarter, same area. How about Massino, who rebuild a family, only to become the highest ranking rat ever. How about Casso, same area, and definitely an interesting would-be movie. How about the Rizzutos? Granted, it's not yet completely clear what's going on over there, but it's definitely movie material. How about Operation Old Bridge? I could go on and on.

if i recall chopper its his son or brother peter who is basically "putting" the movie together. Gottis are still a very rich family today living off of johns money and them all being sucessful up until today as well. but you're right all you hear mainstream is gotti gotti gotti!!

I can tell the casting is going to be terrible, Travolta will probably be bad enough but Lindsay Lohan ?? lol.

What next Burt Reynolds as Aniello Dellacroce.

I just read that Travolta's masseuse is going to play Frankie DeCicco .

Read Al Pacino is penned in for Dellacroce.

All kidding aside, I'll be surprised if the movie ever gets made.

Well PB it's suppose to be starting production this fall or early next year

That's exactly what they said last year. They're behind schedule, out of money, and they're being sued for breach of contract.

My opinion is not coming as a mob fan, but as a film fan. When films get into this kind of trouble, they usually end up being scrapped all together or going straight to dvd with a much lower budget cast.

But you never know. We'll see, I guess .

yeh, at the end of the day, nohing is going to be better then Armande Assante Gotti film!

No argument there! That was one of the best made for cable movies ever produced. Not just about the mob, but about anything.

And on a related note, I think the success of that movie, in 1996, had a direct impact on HBO okaying "The Sopranos" pilot episode, which ended up being shot in the Summer of 1997.

Don't forget that at least one other network passed on "The Sopranos," and if not for the success of HBO's "Gotti," it may never have never came to be.

Probs in my 10 or even 5 best films! amazing film! Its strange how things like that become like the greatest things ever!

I have to say i had little hope for this film when i heard one of the producers for this was "Stuttering John Melendez."
