John Travlota's Movie Hit By Violence 11/6/08

Filming on John Travolta's new movie came under threat after rioters in Paris, France set fire to 10 cars due to be used in the picture.

The Hollywood actor is currently shooting From Paris With Love in the French capital alongside Irish star Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Production had originally been based in the north-east area of the city in Les Bosquets de Montfermeil, a notoriously run-down area.

But movie bosses were forced to move to a more peaceful suburb after thugs made threats against film workers and torched a handful of vehicles onset.

A spokesman for the production company says, "All 10 vehicles were burnt out and there were threats against the crew. "There's no possibility of Mr Travolta or any of the other stars operating in such a dangerous area."
