Emma Booth Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Ben Young cast Hopper Penn — son of Sean — as his lead. In this adaptation of David Joy’s novel “Where All Light Tends to Go,” the father, Charlie (Billy Bob Thornton), is a drug lord in North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains, with a firm grip on his son’s life and livelihood. Jacob (Penn) works as a runner for his dad, while the latter withholds his wages, thus totally controlling his son. Young and screenwriter Robert Knott build on these intriguing family dynamics to create an entertaining drama that’s unfortunately let down by its lead performance.

“My dearest Jetty, I miss you more than words can say,” John Travolta wrote on Wednesday (Apr. 13), when his son, Jett Travolta, would have turned 30. The son of John, 68, and the late Kelly Preston died in January 2009 while on vacation in the Bahamas, and the loss lingers in the Saturday Night Fever star’s heart. “I think about you everyday,” wrote John while sharing a black-and-white throwback photo of him with Jett. “Happy Birthday. Love, your Dad.”
