It's funny what a week in Hollywood can do for a movie's prospects. Last week, it was widely reported that John Travolta was interested in playing Chili Palmer in Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty, but that his asking price was too high to be considered.

Well, today sources are reporting that MGM is moving Be Cool to the fast track and that their top priority is bringing Travolta back for the sequel. Be Cool continues the exploits of Chili Palmer as he moves from the movie business to the music business.
