Ben Foster is John Gotti Jr. in Barry Levinson's Mafia Biopic

The impressive cast for Barry Levinson's Gotti biopic, called "Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father" now welcomes Ben Foster ("The Mechanic", "Pandorum", "3:10 To Yuma"). He will be playing John Gotti Jr., the son of the infamous head of the Gambino crime family. John Travolta will star as John Gotti Sr. and his wife, Victoria, will be played by Travolta's real-life spouse, Kelly Preston. Also, Al Pacino will star as Gambino family underboss Aniello Dellacroce. Lindsay Lohan was rumored to appear as Gotti Jr's wife, but so far nothing has been confirmed. Also, Joe Pesci is currently suing the producers because he has gained weight for a role that was eventualy cut out of the movie, so, I guess he won't be in it, either. Filming is scheduled to begin next year in January.
