Actor John Travolta will unveil his directorial debut, “Propeller One-Way Night Coach,” at the 79th Annual Cannes Film Festival. The upcoming film represents the long-awaited adaptation of Travolta’s 1997 children’s book of the same name. “Propeller One-Way Night Coach” is an original Apple film.
The premiere will take place within a non-competitive section of the festival’s program, specifically at the Debussy Theatre in Cannes. Following this initial screening, the film will be released globally on Apple TV+ on May 29th. This event promises a touch of Hollywood glamour to a relatively subdued year for film studios.
Travolta’s attendance at Cannes further emphasizes the willingness of major streaming services – excluding Netflix – to respect the festival’s established rules. These services are keen to showcase films out of competition, demonstrating their commitment to participating in the event. The selection of films underscores this trend.
