Reunion for Travolta and Thurman

John Travolta and Uma Thurman Hollywood stars John Travolta and Uma Thurman are to co-star in a film for the first time since their partnership in 1994's Pulp Fiction.

The pair will star together in Be Cool, a sequel to Get Shorty which originally starred Travolta.

The Tarantino movie was made famous by Travolta and Thurman's participation in a restaurant dance contest.

Travolta, 51, said he was "excited" to be back with Thurman, and that filming "interrupted our conversations".

Chemistry

The actors praised their on-screen chemistry, while Thurman, 34, said it was "very touching" to work again with someone she has such a connection to.

"I wouldn't even have thought sitting with John when we met - I was kind of a gnarly little 23-year-old - that we had such screen chemistry," added the actress.

The pair's presence in Pulp Fiction also involved an infamous drugs storyline, when Thurman's character Mia overdosed, prompting Travolta's Vincent to inject her with shot of adrenaline.

Uma Thurman

Their new characters in Be Cool are said to be model citizens compared to their Pulp Fiction predecessors.

Thurman is also starring in the film remake of stage show hit The Producers, alongside Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.

"I'm in heaven. I'm in absolute hog-pig heaven. I'm really, literally having the best experience," said Thurman.

She also went on to become the star of Tarantino's Kill Bill movies.
