Some movies occasionally have two directors. It’s not a great idea, but it happens.

But John Travolta’s latest straight to video ‘B” movie has three directors! That’s how bad it will be! It took three peoples’ visions!

“The Poison Rose” is also noteworthy in that Morgan Freeman, the Ado Annie of cinema (he won’t say ‘no’) is featured. So are Famke Janssen and Peter Stormare. To make it even crazier, Travolta’s daughter– coming off her non Oscar role in “Gotti,” has a part.

This should be good.

The directors are Francesco Cinquemani, George Gallo, and Luca Gililberto. The first and last of these are Italian director with few credits. George Gallo is an American C director with some writing credits. This should be good.

“The Poison Rose” is released into the world on May 14th from Lions Gate, home of Travolta 2010 bust, “From Paris with Love,” $24 mil total.
