Be cool, they haven’t started shooting yet.

Travolta eyes ‘Get Shorty 2’
John Travolta is in final talks to reprise his role as Chili Palmer in “Be Cool,” the sequel to “Get Shorty,” Variety reports.
Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a. The Rock, is also being eyed to play a bodyguard-singer who develops an uneasy alliance with Palmer.
“Be Cool” moves the loan shark-turned movie producer Palmer away from the feature film business and into the music industry.
After witnessing the murder of his music industry friend by the mob, he agrees to manage an up-and-coming singer, but is threatened by her mob-connected manager.
The Rock would play the manager’s bodyguard, who wants to be a singer and who happens to be gay. After beating him up in their first encounter, Palmer tries to help the tough guy become a film star.
“Be Cool” will begin production in January for a holiday 2004 release.
