The story behind the making of Gotti feels like a plot line from director Kevin Connolly’s hit show Entourage. Back in December, Gotti filmmakers exercised a buy-back clause with Lionsgate Premiere ten days before the films VOD release as they wanted the movie to be released wide under a new distributor. The latest addition to the story was first broken by Deadline as MoviePass , the movie ticket service recently announced that it was taking an equity stake in Gotti.
With the film now having backers and a release date, a new trailer for Gotti, was released. The film stars John Travolta as John Gotti, the infamous leader of the Gambino crime family. The trailer gives us a bit of Gotti’s journey as he grew resentful of the leadership the Gambino squad and ultimately became the Teflon Don.
