Yo, ninjas! We here at Limp Bizkit Watch 2002 have some good news for you. Fred Durst has announced his biggest hig-profile celebrity collaboration since Ben Stiller appeared in the 2001 music video for Limp Bizkit's "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)." That's right: two-time Academy Award nominee John Travolta will star in Durst's new film Moose as "a rabid movie fan obsessed with his favourite celebrity action hero, portrayed by Devon Sawa," as Variety reports. "As Moose’s obsession grows stronger, his fixation turns from stalking to ambition of destroying the star’s life—a story inspired by a real-life fan who stalked Durst many years ago."
Durst co-wrote and is directing the film, which is filming now in Alabama.
In 2007, Durst made his directorial debut with The Education of Charlie Banks and followed that up with his second film, The Longshots, in 2008. Travolta, of course, made his sixth comeback in 2016 with The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.
While we wait for this film to hit cinemas, let's just break stuff.
