John Travolta and James Gandolfini are teaming up for crime movie The Taking Of Pelham 123 - the sixth time the stars have featured alongside one another on the big-screen.
Travolta has shot five films to date with The Sopranos actor, including Get Shorty, Broken Arrow, She's So Lovely and last year's Lonely Hearts.
In their latest silver-screen collaboration - a remake of the classic 1974 action-thriller which also stars Denzel Washington - Gandolfini stars as New York's mayor who struggles against Travolta's crime-boss, who has taken the city hostage.

The Beatles are, pretty much, my favorite thing ever. As a cultural entity, there has been nothing I have enjoyed more than the music of The Beatles (In fact, if I had to name my Top 5 Cultural Entities Ever, they'd probably be 1) The Beatles 2) The 1996 Seattle Supersonics 3) Bill Murray 4) Tom Robbins 5) The 1995 Seattle Mariners). This being the case, I was a little horrified when American Idol announced that they would be doing Beatles Week for the Top 12. It could either be an absolutely appalling couple hours of television or one of the best American Idol episodes ever. As always, it will come down to song choice. So, as we've begun doing here at BuddyTV, we're going to choose the ideal song choices for each of the Top 12 contestants on American Idol's Beatles Week.

Computer giant Apple Inc. has denied reports the Beatles' back catalogue will soon be made available on their download website iTunes.
Ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney was allegedly planning to release the Fab Four's entire collection of songs and albums onto the music website in the coming months, to counter a hefty divorce payout to former wife Heather Mills.
The former glamour model - who represented herself in the divorce case last month - could reportedly walk away with $120 million (GBP60 million) of the singer's estimated $1.65 billion (GBP825 million) personal fortune when a London judge delivers his settlement decision on 17 March.
The addition of such albums as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the White Album and Help! to iTunes was estimated to be worth around $400 million (GBP200 million) for McCartney if reports were true.
But a spokesperson for Apple Inc. has dismissed the claims, telling U.S. publication Billboard, "This is not news nor is it a scoop."

Rocker Sir Paul McCartney will reportedly release the entire Beatles back catalogue on download website iTunes - to counter a hefty divorce payout to ex-wife Heather Mills.
A London judge is due to return a decision on 17 March on what settlement Mills will receive, two years after their four-year marriage ended in 2006.
The former glamour model - who represented herself in the divorce case last month - could reportedly walk away with $120 million (GBP60 million) of the singer's estimated $1.65 billion (GBP825 million) personal fortune.
And, according to London newspaper the Evening Standard, McCartney is aiming to recoup his divorce losses by gradually adding The Beatles' songs and albums to the iTunes store - the first time they've been legally available to download - in the months following the final court hearing.
If the reports are true, the addition of such albums as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the White Album and Help! could be worth an estimated $400 million (GBP200 million).
