The strange and exciting news was delivered yesterday. Principal photography is now underway in Alabama on the new thriller Moose starring two-time Oscar nominee John Travolta with Limp Bizkit front man, Fred Durst directing for Ambi Media Group. Yes, you heard that right. Fred Durst and John Travolta are teaming up for a thriller.

Based on events from the life of Fred Durst, Moose was written by Durst with Dave Bekerman. John Travolta is playing the title character Moose, a rabid movie fan obsessed with his favorite celebrity action hero, Hunter Dunbar, played by Devon Sawa (Final Destination, Nikita). As Moose's obsession grows stronger, his fixation turns from stalking to ambition of destroying the star's life. The story was inspired by a real life fan who stalked Durst many years ago. Durst previously directed the feature films The Education of Charlie Banks and The Longshots.
