John Travolta, fresh from his directorial debut at the Cannes Film Festival last week, told Reuters that he cannot imagine stepping behind the camera again unless he felt a deep passion for its subject matter.
"When people say, 'Would you direct again?' - I have to be passionate because it's all-consuming, so you have to love it that much," said the screen legend, admitting that making Propeller One-Way Night Coach was at times overwhelming.
However, because of its deeply personal nature - about a young aviation fan who takes a fateful flight to Los Angeles in the golden age of flying in the 1950s and 1960s - he could handle it, he said.
