PARIS — Officials say that a John Travolta movie has suspended filming in one of the Paris area's toughest housing projects after 10 cars to be used in the movie were burned.

Filming of the action movie "From Paris With Love" was supposed to start this week but local officials and the production company say it was put on hold because the cars were burned by unknown suspects early Monday.

Cars are regularly burned in French housing projects, most famously during rioting that raged for three weeks in 2005 in poor neighborhoods across the country.

The mayor's office of Montfermeil, where the housing project is located, says 90 residents were to serve as extras. The Europacorp production company says only that filming of the housing project scenes is suspended pending a review.

"90 residents were to serve as extras"

I guess when project leaders demanded 180 extras they weren't stuttering.

Perhaps it would help if John went door to door in the neighborhood extolling the virtues of Scientology??

If I remember correctly, it was “youths” who were disaffected with job conditions. Other than they all happen to be Muslim, it had nothing to do with any religious or cultural differences.

Perhaps the neighborhoods in question are out of wood for their stoves.

I bet it was those friendly French Muzzies again. They are known for their ability to flame the housing projects. Or was Jesse Jackson them dam Zionist.

Yes, why not “diversify” the neighborhood?

ROFL

No doubt John thought that inasmuch as he is a member of Hollywood’s Liberal elect, the downtrodden of French society would embrace the project and clasp him to their collective bosom. To a rational individual, such an experience would be an eye-opener; however, its import will be lost on a denizen of LaLa Land’s Liberal cocktail party circuit.
