He had a great string of films after Pulp Fiction but then after Lucky Numbers/Battlefield Earth he had flop after flop. He has has a mini career revival but he is still considered an A List actor now? Also does anyone know his salary for recent films?
shareFar from A-list now.
Killing Season went straight to DVD.
I'm slowly but surely making my way through all of his '90s films and there's something like 20 of them. Now he does less than 1 a year, and his most recent, as another poster noted, didn't even hit theaters. The increasingly negative light many seem to cast on him recently certainly doesn't help either.
He's not a big a-list star like he once was.
I'd say he's B-list now. But with that A-list air about him. He's probably trying to avoid letting go of that final A-list rung on the ladder, hence the limited films he does. But unless Tarantino wants to throw him a bone he's likely to be a fixed resident on the 'straight to dvd' shelf.
"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness"
B List at most he will be stuck at the direct to dvd bin for the rest of his career unless he works with someone awesome.
Lose the Game!!!!!!!
Man, IMDB is brutal. Does anyone on here like anyone haha. Anyway, I thought Killing Season was decent, and I'd like to see a return to form for Travolta. He can be great in the right role.
shareYea guess de niro's career's over too cause he costarred in that. It wasn't a great film, travolta still gets good roles in solid films tho plus he has a hit TV show coming out.
shareBelieve me, no one here is an A-list actor/actress.
shareI like Travolta. I'm just saying, that once your movies start going DTV you're not A-list.
Looking at Travolta's upcoming movies, seems like he's starting to sign up to similar movies like Nicolas Cage and John Cusack do, especially the upcoming I Am Wrath, which actually had Cage attached to star a few years ago.
Most of them will go straight to VOD.
I'm not saying that they will be bad, some of my favorite movies of last year were DTV releases for example, but I'm not pretending that they're high profile movies either or that Travolta is still relevant or on a career high.
He is way past his prime (second prime you could say) and his career right now is probably close to where it used to be before Pulp Fiction.
He is still a quality actor, but it is getting a bit embarrassing seeing him prancing around acting all creepy old man touching Scarlett Johansson's face at the Oscars while wearing that ridiculous Lego man hair.
We know you're bald and gay, John, and we don't care, get over it already.
