John Travolta will collaborate on a new movie with his daughter Ella Bleu Travolta.

It was announced on Monday that the 71-year-old veteran actor — who shocked fans over the summer — will be joined by the 25-year-old actress and Melissa Barerra in the action thriller Black Tides.

The movie — written by Chris Sparling and Ángel Agudo with Renny Harlin directing — is about ‘rogue orcas.’

According to a synopsis, the movie ‘follows Bill Pierce (John), an estranged father trying to reconnect with his daughter Rebecca (Melissa) and grandson Sebastian (Dylan Torrell) when their sailboat is attacked by rogue orcas off the southern Spanish coast.’

It subsequently ignites a ‘fight for survival across open waters,’ per Deadline.

The father-daughter duo previously worked together on 2019′s The Poison Rose and 2009′s Old Dogs.

In addition to Ella, the Grease sensation is also dad to 14-year-old son Benjamin, who turns 15 next month. 

He shared the kids, as well as late son Jett — who died of a seizure at age 16 in 2009 — with wife Kelly Preston.

The three are the surviving family members after they also lost Kelly in July 2020 following her battle with breast cancer.

John has kept his late wife’s memory alive, and often posts photos of her in memoriam.

Just one week ago, on what would have been her 63rd birthday, the actor took to Instagram to share a song he performed in her honor.

He shared a photo of his wife and wrote in the caption, ‘I recorded this song for Kelly and I want to share it with you all on her birthday. Happy birthday Kelly, we love you. -John, Ella and Ben.’

Ella left a comment of three red heart emojis. 

And on Mother’s Day this year, the Hollywood star shared an old family photo, writing, ‘Happy Mother’s Day Kelly! You did a great job!! We love you!’

Ella and John are famously extremely close, with the pair often supporting one another via social media.

Gushing about his daughter in a 2019 interview with People, John said: ‘She is gracious, generous, poised, graceful and gorgeous. I don’t know how she came to be, and I don’t take any credit other than just adoring her.’

He added, ‘And maybe that’s a valid contribution.’

That same year Ella also heaped praise on her movie star father, calling him ‘the best mentor ever.’

She told People, ‘I always jump at the opportunity to do something with my dad and we always have the most fun doing something together.’

‘Ever since I was little, I’ve really loved singing and performing — whether it was acting, dancing, singing,’ the budding star explained about following in her parents’ showbiz footsteps.
