Cincinnati (AP) — A biopic on the life of New York mob boss John Gotti starring John Travolta is set to begin filming in Cincinnati later this month.
Travolta will play the title character in “The Life and Death of John Gotti.” His real-life wife, Kelly Preston, will play Gotti’s wife.
Gotti was the head of the Gambino crime family. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1992 after being convicted of murder and other counts. He died behind bars a decade later.
Travolta received an Emmy nomination last week for his performance as attorney Robert Shapiro in FX’s “People vs. O.J. Simpson.”
