Travolta and Thurman to sizzle on screen again

John Travolta and Uma Thurman, who sparkled as a cool couple in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, are getting together again on screen.

Thurman, who recently starred in Tarantino’s Kill Bill, is set to play the female lead opposite Travolta in Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty, according to reports in Hollywood.

Thurman will play Edie, a widow who takes over her late husband’s record label and goes into business with Travolta’s Chili Palmer, the loan shark-turned-film producer who has entered the music business in search of another film idea.

Thurman will join a cast that, as well as Travolta, includes Danny De Vito, who returns as actor Martin Weir, and The Rock, who will play a bodyguard and aspiring actor.
