Producer Luc Besson announced that the filming of From Paris With Love with John Travolta was cancelled following a riot.
From Sunday night until Monday, ten production vehicles were set on fire by local disgruntled workers.
Filming, which was set in the Montfermeil region of France, must take place elsewhere. Besson cited that there was a lack of security and filming under such conditions was impossible.
Therefore, John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers will be cutting their scheduled 11-week trip to France short.
The incident comes as a big disappointment, since many of the locals were to be casted as extras, generating jobs in the region.
