LOS ANGELES - John Travolta is thanking his colleagues from `The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3' for promoting the film while he continues to mourn the death of his 16-year-old son, Jett, who died after a seizure in January.

Travolta has posted a note on his personal website, thanking `Pelham' director Tony Scott and co-stars Denzel Washington, John Turturro, Luis Guzman and James Gandolfini for `their unselfish efforts' publicizing the picture, which allowed his family the additional time to reconcile their loss.

The 55-year-old actor also thanked Scott for `the freedom to define, and then to become, the ultimate evil mastermind.'
