GOTTI FILM NOT CANNED, NOT WHACKED, FAKE NEWS KEEPS ON GOING

For a lot of people, the last two weeks has been pretty much a joke in terms of information being reported about the film GOTTI.  Reports have surfaced and for some reason continue to keep surfacing that GOTTI isn't coming out, or has been cancelled, the mafia has forced them to drop it, and a million other absolutely bullshit stories.

Part of the reason for the hoopla is because many of the media outlets covering this story just simply refused to ask questions.  If anyone had bothered to ask they would have found out that back in November it was already known that the distribution and ownership rights were going back to the production company, and would be resold in order to not only secure more funding, but to release the film to a much wider audience, as well as a full release to Cannes, and the Venice Film Festival.

The volume of rumors has just been vile. Director Kevin Connolly twice explained the situation and John Travolta himself also explained the reasons, and yet the reports just continue to get more and more ludicrous.  From my perspective the only mistake that was made by those behind the GOTTI film are that they didn't get in front of the story.  Probably their biggest regret as well, but if you honestly look at the original date slated for theatres, they made a much wiser decision not to battle STAR WARS at the box office.  Believe it or not, this stuff happens all the time, but because of the all the drama surrounding the film from day one and the subject material could you really expect anything less then some sort of drama?  Simple answer which nobody can seem to accept.

According to Kevin Connolly, the film is slated to arrive sometime in April or May, which I would assume isn't a definitive date, but in either case the film is coming.  In the meantime A&E is launching the GOTTI family documentary, which is sure to be a really big hit with viewers.
