Hollywood is coming to Hueytown, with actor John Travolta scheduled to star in an action movie about a veteran race-car driver and his son, the Alabama Film Office confirmed this morning.

The movie is titled "Trading Paint," according to the movie website IMDB.com.

The Alabama Film Office is not yet authorized to release any specific details regarding filming dates and locations, a representative with the film office said this morning.

Birmingham television station WBRC-TV/Fox 6 first reported the story.

Travolta will star as a seasoned driver who butts heads with his competitive son, a fellow driver played by Toby Sebastian, according to a plot description on IMDB. Karzan Kader will direct from a screenplay co-written by Gary Gerani and Craig R. Walsh.

The movie is scheduled for release in June 2018, according to IMDB.

Earlier in June, the Alabama Film Office posted a notice on its Facebook page requesting crew resumes for a feature film shooting in the Hueytown/Bessemer area in August.

The WBRC-TV/Fox 6 report said the movie's production crew will use the old Hueytown High School as a central meeting location and for prop storage. They plan to use the facility from July 10 through the middle of September.

Hueytown was home for such stock-car legends as Bobby Allison, Donnie Allison, Davey Allison, Neil Bonnett and "Red" Farmer, who collectively came to be known as racing's Alabama Gang.

Travolta's first major film, "Saturday Night Fever," also has an Alabama connection. It was directed by former Birmingham resident John Badham, and the movie's illuminated disco dance floor was inspired by the one at The Club, a private dinner and dance club on Red Mountain.

In addition to "Saturday Night Fever," Travolta is best known for his roles in "Pulp Fiction," "Grease" and "Urban Cowboy."
