The two movie stars and fellow scientologists have been friends for years, but they have not acted together and Travolta admits one recent rumour about a project they were working on wasn’t that far-fetched.
“Someone came up with a good idea. It was a remake of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and there was a rumour that we were gonna do that, and I said to Tom, ‘It’s not a terrible rumour. It’s not a bad idea’,” Travolta said.
The 1969 film directed by George Roy Hill originally starred Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the lead and bagged four Academy Awards. It was earlier reported that Cruise was hoping to revive the role of Sundance played by Redford in the original film while 55-year-old Travolta was expected to play Cassidy.
