Truth about scientology's involvment with this movie


From Mark Bunkers Youtube Page

Marty Rathbun explains how Scientology leader David Miscavige micro-managed the film adaptation of L. Ron Hubbard's sci-fi book and then threw John Travolta under the bus when it was deemed one of the biggest disasters in Hollywood history.

Bump

I was just going to post basically the same thing. Not surprised Miscavige threw Travolta under the bus when the movie bombed. He has been known to do the same thing to other people.

Not surprised.If there is such a thing as a totally corrupt person, Miscavige fits the bill.

That's politics unfortunately. They could have made a much better film from the book - which I found quite enjoyable, and better than this.
