Shania Twain joins Travolta racing movie

Country music star Shania Twain, Michael Madsen, and Kevin Dunn have joined the cast of John Travolta's racing movie “Trading Paint”. 

Principal photography launched this week in Alabama with shooting scheduled through mid-September at several Alabama locations. Toby Sebastian (“Game of Thrones”) will also co-star.

Karzan Kader, director of Tyler Perry and Doug Liman's upcoming “The Year of the Great Storm”, is helming “Trading Paint” from a script by Craig Welch and Gary Gerani. Travolta portrays a down-and-out dirt track racing legend drawn back into the winner's circle after his son, an aspiring driver, joins a competitor's racing team, and incites an intense and dangerous competition between father and son.

The producers are Andrea Iervolino, Monika Bacardi, Silvio Muraglia, and Alexandra Klim. Iervolino said “It's well known that dirt track racing is one of the most exciting sports in the world, and it's also one of the most dangerous. Our story is rooted in that high-speed danger, but also very much character driven, and this is where having someone of John's caliber and gravitas pays great dividends.”
