John TravoltaCan old dogs really learn new tricks? Well, according to legendary stars John Travolta and Robin Williams, they can. If you liked "Wild Hogs," chances are you'll want to take "Old Dogs" for a walk as well. The similarly-sounding flick, which begins filming soon, will reunite Travolta with "Hogs" director Walt Becker and team them with Williams to tell yet another story of an over-the-hill, uphill battle.

"I'm doing a film with the family," beamed Travolta. "I'm doing a film with Kelly [Preston], my wife, and my daughter Ella, for the first time."

"It's basically the idea that old dogs can learn new tricks," laughed Williams. "It's about two men in what they call the twilight or the golden years, older men. [My character] finds out that he has twins that he didn't know about [and] then the kids are suddenly told 'This is your dad, and you're going to stay with him for the weekend'." Read more...
