Trailer For ‘The Fanatic’ – Fred Durst’s New Movie Starring John Travolta [Video]

'The Fanatic' was co-written and directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst, and features Travolta with a seriously questionable hairstyle.

Of all of the movies coming out in the second half of 2019, there’s only one that features John Travolta as a bowl haircut-having stalker.

In addition, The Fanatic was co-written and directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.

Pause to take that in.

This is Durst’s first full-length feature since 2008’s The Longshots.

VICE is describing the trailer as “One Hour Photo on a much smaller budget mixed with…Limp Bizkit”:

To start, there’s Travolta’s almost unrecognizable appearance: the hair, the painfully awkward posture, the plaid shorts, and the dorky short sleeve button-ups.

But as the clip progresses, Travolta’s character becomes menacing. He’s obsessed with action star Hunter Dunbar (Devon Sawa) and quickly turns into a violent stalker. Between the hockey masks and the editing, the trailer has heavy throwback thriller vibes: think Fear, or One Hour Photo.

And frankly, it rules.

Tape rolling, rolling, rolling:

The Fanatic will confuse and disturb in theatres on August 30.
