The first trailer for John Travolta's ‘High Rollers' sees a master criminal on the edge
Over the course of his long career in Hollywood, John Travolta has played his fair share of cops. In High Rollers, though, Travolta is on the other side of the law, playing a master thief who is living the high life. As the first trailer for the movie reveals, though, his good life can't last forever.
In the trailer, we see Travolta's thief Mason arm-in-arm with Gina Gershon's Deckard, but when she is kidnapped by his nemesis, Mason is forced to execute a nearly impossible casino heist in exchange for her safe return. It's a little Ocean's 11, but with a kidnapping twist.
High Rollers Official Trailer (2025) - John Travolta
According to the official synopsis: 'Master thief Mason (John Travolta) is living the criminal's dream: island-hopping with his crew and the love of his life, Decker (Gina Gershon), while floating on a sea of stolen cash. But his dream is shattered when his nemesis, the ruthless Salazar, kidnaps Decker and forces Mason and his crew to attempt a near-impossible casino heist in exchange for her return. Hedged in by Salazar's equally ruthless rivals, and with the FBI on his tail, Mason gambles everything in pursuit of both the big score and the ultimate jackpot: Decker's life.'
Directed by Chris Sivertson, the movie also stars Lukas Haas and Quavo. Travolta has been working for Hollywood for five decades now, and this kind of action blockbuster is a reminder of his longevity, and the ups and downs that he's experienced over the course of that long career.
High Rollers is set to hit theaters and be available on digital on March 14.

43 Laughably Fake Movie And TV Moments That Completely Took People Out Of It
Recently, Reddit user Behind_Th3_8_Ball asked about props that ruined a movie, and a bunch of people chimed in with the wildly fake movie moments that always bother them. Here are 43 fake-looking things from movies that I can't believe made it onto the screen. We also used some examples from r/MovieMistakes. garbage can from Independence Day, which literally says "art department" on it: Suggested by u/Namtab666 extremely obvious fake baby from American Sniper: Suggested by u/Behind_Th3_8_Ball "I don't understand this shot. Why they didn't just shoot at an angle where you can only see the prop from the back? That way, you can still capture Bradley's emotions and not disclose that it was a prop." —u/raizo11 "A blanket around the baby's shoulders would have gone a long, long way. What were they thinking??!?!" —u/dae_giovanni the baby that appears on the ceiling in Mark's dream in Trainpotting (yes, it's supposed to be creepy, but STILL): Suggested by u/Significant_Fuel5944 the fake baby in this Malcolm in the Middle scene: Suggested by u/plainandawesome characters in post apocalyptic movies and shows, especially women, have perfect Dina in The Last Of Us: "Movies about struggling characters who have freshly cut, coloured and blow-dried/styled hair. Your hair is probably the first thing you neglect as a struggling woman, especially." —u/bibijoe Karen from The Grudge 2: "When the woman in The Grudge 2 has perfectly curled hair while in the hospital." —u/Sweaty_Chard_6250 an FBI agent uses Excel to hack a nuclear weapon in Unthinkable — and you can also see a movie script pulled up: Suggested by u/HalfACupkake you can see that a character's not actually on the phone, like in this scene from The Boys...: "Whenever people talk on phones, and you can clearly see the lock screen or the homepage of the phone not being in a call." —u/Coffmad1 worse, when the character's on a different app, like Abby in this NCIS scene. Suggested by u/Foxterriers when characters text using a non-messaging app, like in School of Rock, when an audience member "texts" someone using a blank document: Suggested by [deleted] fake video game-playing moments, like this one from Rumble in the Bronx...: "Rumble in the Bronx had a kid playing a Sega Game Gear, and it is very obvious that there is no game cartridge plugged in." —u/CaptainBloodface12 this one from Malcolm in the Middle...: "Reese from Malcolm in the Middle has a scene where he is playing a Game Boy THAT LITERALLY DOESN'T HAVE A CARTRIDGE IN IT." —u/bariztizg the "controller acting" from Anora, where this character just mashes buttons indiscriminately: "Anora (which I otherwise loved) had some of the worst controller acting I've ever seen; it's straight out of a made-for-TV movie. The actor is 23 as well, surely he's held a controller???" —u/wills_b costume from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scene, where you can clearly see the person inside: Suggested by u/SlipTheSlime actors drink from clearly empty coffee cups, like during the stakeout scenes of Law & Order...: "I can't stand when actors drink from empty coffee cups!!! Totally takes me out of the moment, and then it's all I can notice. Of course I can't think of any movies that do this now though..." —u/mudmilkshake "Not a movie, but almost every stakeout scene from every iteration of Law & Order. To me, adding some weight so they feel a bit more real to the actors and so the cup doesn't sound empty when it's put down seems like such a simple thing, but I'm sure there's more to it." —u/RedCorundum on Gilmore Girls, where the characers keep gesturing while holding cups that are clearly empty: "Gilmore Girls was the worst at this, to the point where it seemed like the cast was treating it as a running gag. They'd be gesturing wildly with supposedly full cups in their hands." —u/mbklein "Comes back from the bar at Luke's with two 'freshly filled' coffee cups. Can't see the coffee. Every time." —u/y3llowed communicator from The Phantom Menace, which is obviously a Gillette Razor: "The Gillette Ladyshave that Qui-Gon uses as his communicator in Star Wars: Episode 1 always gets me." —u/PauPau86 "My girlfriend and I both noticed that opening night in the theater because she used that exact razor." —u/Ralph--Hinkley Anakin's backpack from the same film, which looked like the backpack every other kid had at the time: "Anakin's backpack in The Phantom Menace. I just remember kids having one like that at the time, and it just seemed out of place in the movie." —u/tr1ckyf1sh of The Phantom Menace — when you could tell this guy in the background was DEFINITELY not Samuel L. Jackson: Suggested by u/colinaclark obvious mannequin used in this stunt from Wonder Woman 1984: "Wonder Woman 1984. She saves a kid during the highway scene, I think it was. She ends up holding the kid close and rolling on the ground. It was clearly a mannequin." —u/FubarioFromSicario the wildly fake dummy from the car explosion in Casino: "Casino is still a great movie, but the opening shot of DeNiro's car blowing up with the dummy inside always makes me laugh." —u/Global-Discussion-41 "I wonder at what point would he realise 'Holy shit, this looks ridiculous.'And at what point is it no longer worth it to go back and reshoot a car blowing up?I think we can all agree, Scorsese probably misjudged where that point was in this instance." —u/GimmeSomeSugar Here it is in a slowed-down GIF, so you can see how bad it is. badly photoshopped family photo in Twin Peaks: The Return: "I FUCKING HATE SHITTY PHOTOSHOPPED FAMILY PHOTOS! If you can't make it look half real, why even do it?" —u/Efficient-Editor-242 "Twin Peaks: The Return features my favourite example of this ever. If you haven't seen it, check out the photo of Andy, Lucy, and their 'kid' played by Michael Cera." —u/Hipyeti obviously fake stalactite from The Lord of the Rings: Suggested by u/IljaMaran from The Lord of the Rings, when this extra is clearly using imaginary arrows: Suggested by u/AnalysisMoney stunt from The Fugitive, where it's clearly a dummy and not Harrison Ford: "When Kimble jumps off the dam in The Fugitive. Worst dummy shot in cinema history." —u/EpicWheezes Check it out in GIF format here: toilet seat from Liar Liar, which you can tell is made out of foam: Suggested by u/heidismiles game of hackey sack going on with no hackey sack in this scene from Twilight: Suggested by u/Charlie4774 about Bond making espresso in this scene from Live and Let Die: "The shitty espresso that James Bond serves M in Live and Let Die." —u/seleucus_nicator way Steven Seagal holds a gun in Sniper Special Ops: "Not so much the prop itself. But the way he holds the gun, lmao." —u/Ghostman_Jack a character fits through the air ducts, like this scene from Die Hard: "Clean, accessible air ducts that are always big enough to crawl through. Just once, I want to see a hero get stuck in a duct and have to be cut out by the fire department." —u/colores_a_mano "The size of the things always fuckin' slays me. Never mind the fact that any tinbanger knows — even if you could fit, you ain't moving silently through thin galvanized steel tunnel that was probably installed by the lowest bidder in the most slapdash, cost-efficient way they if you're really lucky, it's connected like the building diagram actually says it is as opposed to dead-ending at a wall." —u/l_rufus_californicus eggs from Batman V Superman: "The plastic eggs Cavill is cooking Batman V Superman. Fisher-Price looking ass eggs." —u/lazlo871 uncanny valley CGI Renesmee from Breaking Dawn: "The CGI baby in Twilight. Might as well call it a prop." —u/ProAnalCyst "It's soooo uncanny valley! How did they think anyone would be okay with that fake ass baby?" —u/zaforocks fake prop toilet from Boondock Saints: "Boondock Saints is one of my guilty pleasure movies, but the clearly fake prop toilet that gets dropped on the Russian mobster…" —u/underground4077 Wash wasn't even holding onto the wheel in Firefly: "What about the very first episode of Firefly where the shot was slightly too wide and you could see Wash wasn't actually holding on to the steering and just had his hands in position? Or did I imagine it?" —u/StrictlyMarzipanOwl when Brian pulls at a brake that isn't there in 2 Fast 2 Furious: Suggested by [deleted] also Antonio Banderas just miming moving imaginary controls in this scene from Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams: Suggested by u/Chair_Last moment in D2: The Mighty Ducks when you can tell the background extras are actually just cardboard cutouts: Suggested by u/LisleSwanson of cardboard cutouts — these fake books behind Indy in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Suggested by u/Oldspice_DentalFloss scene from Men in Black where Zed and K are only pretending to type in the background: Suggested by u/MyNameGifOreilly bending scabbard from One Piece: Suggested by u/MikeFleezy "metal" rod from the show Dark, which moves: Suggested by u/AjemMirumilovny man's photo in Smallville, which is very obviously glued/taped on rather than printed as a part of the newspaper: Suggested by u/ArtisanGerard coffee cup in Game of Thrones: "The Starbucks cup marked the end of anything good out of GoT." —u/Voluntary_Perry What wildly fake or unrealistic moment or item took you out of a film or TV show?

Tom Ellis Previews Latest FBI Offshoot, His CIA Agent's ‘Large Dose of Moral Ambiguity' — Watch Video
Tom Ellis' character in CBS' CIA sounds like a bit of a devil. CBS' upcoming 'expansion' of the FBI universe (airing Mondays at 10/9c this fall) is centered on two unlikely partners — a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer (played by Lucifer vet Ellis), and a yet-to-be-cast by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. More from TVLine Patti LuPone Skips Tony Awards Amid Audra McDonald Controversy - Watch Oprah Winfrey Joke About It On-Air Tonys 2025: Hamilton's Original Broadway Cast Reunites for Sleek Medley - Watch Matlock Season 2: Is Matty's Marriage in Trouble? EP Previews 'Negotiations' Ahead 'When this odd couple is assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station,' the official synopsis reads, 'they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.' Speaking with TVLine at CBS' recent Upfront event, Ellis said that CIA will take its cue from 'the format set up on FBI' and 'explore the notion of why these agencies don't normally work together' — despite the fact that the events of 9/11 suggested that the Agency and Bureau should share more information. Ellis says that the unlikely partnership proves to be 'productive but also very difficult, because they have very different philosophies on how to achieve goals.' When we first meet Ellis' CIA agent, the British actor reveals, he is 'stuck in the 'boring' end of the job, on home soil in New York,' and thus perhaps is open to any set-up that gets him more action. All told, though, 'he is someone who has to use guile and deceit and lies to get what he wants,' Ellis shares. 'There's large dose of moral ambiguity that comes with him.' CIA is executive-produced by showrunner David Hudgins, FBI franchise overlord Dick Wolf, Nicole Perlman, David Chasteen and Peter Jankowski. Eriq La Salle will direct and exec-produce the first episode. An exact premiere date has not yet been set, but CIA will air Mondays at 10 pm, leading out of the FBI mothership.
