Filming of a new John Travolta movie on a deprived Paris housing estate has been cancelled - after rioting youths torched ten of the production’s cars and threatened crew.
'From Paris With Love' was meant to have highlighted social problems in the grim suburbs which surround the French capital.
Jobs as extras and support staff were even offered to largely immigrant residents who are plagued by unemployment and discrimination.
But within days of arrived in Les Bosquets, a high rise estate in Montfermeil, in the notorious Seine-Saint-Denis north of the capital, violence broke out.
‘All ten of the vehicles set to be used in the film were burnt out and there were threats aimed at support crew,’ said a production spokesman.
‘There’s no now possibility of Mr Travolta or any of the other stars of the film operating in such a dangerous area.
'The scenes we were mean to do here will now be shot elsewhere.’
‘From Paris With Love’, which will also star British actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers, will be legendary French director Luc Besson’s last film.

C-CS
Travolta finally ran afoul of a cult bigger and meaner than the one to which he belongs.
This is so chock fulla irony, my bowels is gonna be bound up for a week!
Pastorius,
When will the left accept the fact that America is not the bad guy?
Great comments here. As Scherzo said, this is chock full of irony. Thank God my guts are doing fine.
Travolta and the left have both run into a cult bigger and meaner than the one they belong to.
And, no I don't think they'll put a scene in the movie to tell about the bigger, meaner cult, because the people on the left want to believe they control the world, and if they were to actually look at the truth, that the Muslims are bigger and meaner, then they would realize they don't control the world.
And, of course, they would have to stop blaming the right. And, they would have to give up their most cherished belief which is that everything is economically determined, which also feeds into their belief that they can control everything by throwing money at it.
The left will never give up blaming America, as long as America stands for Freedom and individualism.
