If all had gone to plan, we’d already have had Gotti in cinemas by now, but endless delays over script and casting caused the whole thing to crash, before it was picked up again a few weeks ago by director Joe Johnston. Now he’s driving is forward, with 
Personally I’d take this with a pinch of salt, but
