John, who has ``Michael'' upcoming, has just started ``Face Off'' with Nicolas Cage and is then supposed to do ``Primary Colors'' and ``Civil Disorder Civil disorder, also known as civil unrest, is a broad term that is typically used by law enforcement to describe one or more forms of disturbance caused by a group of people. .'' But if the right Travolta/Preston project came along soon, well, as Preston points out, schedules can be juggled. As for her schedule, it's wide open.

 wants him to do a weekly series with his extremely popular, drawn-from-real-life cop character. But he's opposed to the idea. ``It would be too hard. I like doing one or two of these movies a year and having time to make the script right and make it say something,'' says the actor, who co-wrote and directed ``Death and Vengeance'' in addition to starring in it.

West, who also voices ``Ren and Stimpy'' and several other cartoons, says he came away with a newfound appreciation for Blanc. ``He wasn't just a freak voice talent. He was an incredible actor. He brought so much inner life to these characters, they all had a unique, individual identity.''
