Casting for Barbra Streisand's new GYPSY film is starting to move beyond rumors and clandestine meetings.
Speaking to Extra today, John Travolta revealed more about his hush-hush get-together with Streisand, Lady Gaga and Ryan Murphy last month.
"I called Barbra and said, Lady Gaga is next door on AMERICAN HORROR STORY... I met her, she's lovely, I really think you should meet her, she's a visionary like you are.' So I set up a dinner, and Ryan Murphy came as well. And we just had a great time, exchanging ideas and feelings about life, and it went about six hours," the actor said.
When asked directly about Streisand's GYPSY remake, Travolta said: "Well, yeah, I mean Barbra has been wanting to do GYPSY for years, and she's been developing it, and I think she always visualized Gaga as Louise and maybe me as Herbie."
Nothing has been made official, but we're excited the project seems to be moving forward!
Babs' new GYPSY film been one of the most talked about (and most stalled) musical projects of the past few years. Streisand has been working with Universal Pictures on a reboot of the beloved Broadway musical GYPSY since 2011. This would be the third movie version of GYPSY, which was first captured on film in 1962 (starring Rosalind Russell) and then again in 1993 for television (starring Bette Midler).
