Travolta will always be a legend, not only for his beloved performances, but also for those who did not resonate the same way. In a career that lasts six decades, Travolta has made a whole seven films that have collected a score of 0% spoiled tomatoes. How does a man manage to make so much stench? A difficult and fascinating question is, such as the question of how "Battlefield Earth" is somehow not on that zero percent list (which, for those who are known, is certainly even more shocking than Travolta OTRR).

Yes, 25 years ago, Travolta starred in one of the worst movies ever made: A scientific disaster of $ 73 million based on a book by the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard. The movie Only engaged $ 29.3 million to box office, But that does not convey the scale of his failure. Despite not being on the list of films with the lowest ranking of Travolta (there is 3% RT score, for those interested), "Battlefield Earth" is often cited as one of the worst films of all time-Fact that is too famous to its writer, D. Shapiro, who was doing his best to take place and move away from what remains in search of what remains in search of what remains in search of what remains in search of film intelligence. But despite his best efforts to get away from stinking "Battlefield Earth", Shapiro was constantly linked to the film, to the extent that he was still haunted by that quarter century later.

Battlefield Earth opened in cinemas in 2000, a year after the "matrix" copied the rules of the scientific cinema. "Battlefield Earth", however, seemed designed to regain all progress made from Vahovski's seminal effort. Everyone hated this film, which is not so surprising given his writer, D.D. Shapiro described it as "the strangest movie ever". UN Travolta played Terl, a leader of a foreign breed known as Psychol. Just like in the novel of L. Rob Hubbard, psychos ruled the country for the millennium, but in 3000, Tyler of Barry Pepper Onnoni "Goodboy" Tyler is leading a human uprising. It doesn't have to sound like the basis for one of the worst films ever made, but in 2010, Battlefield Earth won the "worst movie of the decade", and Shapiro was there to accept the award.

He followed that by being essentially A long apology "battlefield"looking for absentia because they were once involved in the project in the first place. In his apology, published in Newouper PostHe recalled the process he involved, exploring the Scientology, took several hours, and even spent some time on the organization's cruise ship, Frivind. He then read the original novel "Battlefield Earth" and wrote a script, which he claims to be "very, very different than what ended up on the screen". According to Shapiro, his scenario was "darker, derogatory and there was a very attractive story with rich characters" (if he said himself) and came without "slow movement at every turn, the Dutch rate, camp dialogue, aliens in kiss boots and all the wigs.

According to the writer, he received notes from the studio that surpassed everything he once experienced. "I thought it was a joke," he wrote. "The notes wanted to lose key scenes, add funny scenes, take some of the key characters." As Shapiro recalled, when he pressed the studio on the issue, it appeared that Travolta and his Scientology friends were behind the demands. Shapiro then claims to have been fired from work to include their suggestions. The screenwriter wrote his apology for 10 years after the film actually came out. Spent another decade and Shapiro once again spoke with Newouper PostAnd it seems that he was still haunted by Travolta's Lovebing letter to the founder of Scientology.

Tron Travolta never recovered after the box office flop It was "Battlefield Earth", as evidenced by the fact that most of his films with 0%of "Wounded Tomatoes" are post-"Battlefield Earth" projects. But it wasn't just Travolta that fought in the face of the film. He also cast a shadow over the careers of almost all involved (Forrest Whitaker, who played an assistant at Terl, Kerr, regardless).

Speaking of the Yorkyork Post in 2020, D.D. Shapiro revealed that 20 years after premiering "Battlefield Earth", he still could not shake the brazen heritage. The writer said he was at a party in Los Angeles, where he talked to another writer. "Well, I wrote the worst scenario ever," Shapiro told him. "You haven't written the worst script ever," the answer came. "You didn't write" Battlefield Earth ", come on!" "As Shapiro recalled, the writer then paused before he realized:" Hey! This is the ** hole that wrote "The Battlefield Earth!"

According to the announcement, Shapiro was forced to write films under pseudonyms after the release of "Battlefield Earth", which, given the uniquely terrible reputation of the film as one of the The biggest wrong fires in the history of the movieIt doesn't look so amazing. This is, after all, a film Roger Ebert called "unpleasant in a hostile way", and the Guardian called it "one of the worst films ever made". However, it is a quarter century, and Shapiro does not clearly stand on the finished product. In other words, Travolta and his groups of Scientology are the only ones to overcome the blame in this case.
