Kim Kardashian the front runner for a role in the Untitled Gotti Project
We reported at the end of January that John Travolta is in talks to portray John Gotti. It seems he is now attached to the project. Kim Kardashian has reportedly met with producers, who are interested in casting the reality TV star, although no deals have been signed yet.
Nick Cassavetes will direct the Untitled Gotti Project from a script by Leo Rossi. Production is said to start sometime this summer.
Our report from January also indicated that James Franco is circling the role of John Gotti Jr. The actor's rep revealed he had been sent the script, although it isn't clear if James Franco has been offered the role.
The story will take place over three generations of the Gotti crime family. The Gotti family has signed deals to consult on the project.
Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father comes to theaters in 2013 and stars John Travolta, Ben Foster, Joe Pesci, Lindsay Lohan, Kelly Preston, Ella Bleu Travolta, Al Pacino, Chazz Palminteri. The film is directed by Barry Levinson.

Why must people in the film industry pander to this dumbass. She can't act, sing, write, or think. She has no talent of any sort and yet people pay her to sit by a pool or act like an idiot. She doesn't belong on TV let alone a major motion picture.

I dont know about this. In fact i still feel that the made for HBO movie Gotti from the 90's is so strong that unfortunatly i will be comparing every little bit to that film. Travolta as Gotti MIGHT be a good idea but i just dont know what to think about all this yet.
