The Trailer For
Paradise City
By JULIA SELINGER
Nearly 30 years after the release of Quentin Tarantino's crime opus "Pulp Fiction," the new trailer for "Paradise City" sees two "Pulp Fiction" greats face off against each other. The action flick is directed by Chuck Russell, who also helmed "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3," "The Mask," and "Scorpion King," and is all set to premiere on November 11, 2022.
"Paradise City" is a story of vengeance between Ryan Swan (Bruce Willis) and the vicious kingpin (John Travolta) who killed his father. Per writer and producer Corey Large, the reunion between Travolta and Willis — who played hitman Vincent Vega and boxer Butch Coolidge in "Pulp Fiction," respectively — was by design, as he has been trying to link the two actors since 2006.
In March 2022, Willis revealed that he had been struggling with aphasia, a cognitive disorder that affects speech, and he would retire from acting, which makes "Paradise City" one of the actor's final roles. However, the director told the Los Angeles Times that the actor "was excited to work with John Travolta, and you could see the old Bruce Willis charm was still there."
