John Travolta To Star In 'Harvey'

John Travolta is in negotiations to star in "Harvey," a new screen version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play that was the basis for the 1950 Jimmy Stewart film, reports Variety.

Craig Mazin wrote the script for the remake. Even though a director has not been set, the studios have begun talks with Travolta to play the role of Elwood P. Dowd, an amiable drunk who pals around with a 6-foot-tall invisible rabbit named Harvey.

The remake is a co-production between Dimension Films and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
