Previously titled Moose, Bloody Disgusting learned that VMI is handling sales on the newly titled The Fanatic, an indie thriller directed by Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst.
Principal photography took place in Alabama on the film starring John Travolta as a rabid movie fan obsessed with his favorite celebrity action hero, Hunter Dunbar, played by Devon Sawa (who is best known among us horror fans as the star of Final Destination and Idle Hands, while others obsess over his appearance in Casper). As Moose’s obsession grows stronger, his fixation turns from stalking to the ambition of destroying the star’s life.
The story was inspired by a real-life fan who pursued Durst many years ago. The screenplay was written by Durst and Dave Bekerman.
Bloody was able to dig up an actual shot from the film of Travolta, albeit a tiny one.
