We’ve just learned that film has a new release date. In the film, Moose (Travolta), a celebrity-obsessed fan who feels slighted by his favorite movie star at an autograph convention.

Devon Sawa (Final Destination) and Ana Golja (Degrassi: Next Class) also star in The Fanatic, a tense and suspenseful thriller that boasts a commanding central performance from Travolta.
