Battlefield Earth (film): Difference between revisions

The film version of [[L. Ron Hubbard]]'s [[Science Fiction]] novel ''[[Battlefield Earth (novel)|Battlefield Earth]]'' was released in the U.S. in the year 2000, directed by Roger Christian and starring [[John Travolta]] as Psychlo leader Terl (he originally wanted to play the part of the book's hero, Jonnie "Goodboy" Tyler, but that role eventually went to Barry Pepper). Travolta had wanted to do the film for a long time, but had trouble securing money for it because of studios' apprehension to bankroll the film due to its connections with the [[Church of Happyology|Church of Scientology]]. He later poured most of his own money into the project and signed on as a co-producer, and the rest...well, is history.
