In “The Fanatic,” which was directed by Fred Durst, frontman for Limp Bizkit., John Travolta plays Moose, a fan obsessed with an actor, Hunter Dunbar. The movie has been panned left and right by critics. Its 18% score on Rotten Tomatoes and 17 Metascore have positioned it upfront as a contender for next year’s Razzie awards. And yet, it appears as though Travolta is actually campaigning his performance for an Oscar nomination, with a For Your Consideration ad being noticed on social media. “The Fanatic” is based on a real-life experience that Durst had. The film is about an obsessed fan, played by Travolta, who begins stalking his favorite action-film star, played by Devon Sawa (Remember him? From “Idle Hands” and “SLC Punk?”). Contribute Hire me
