Joseph Gordon-Levitt

And Now For Something Completely Different

We Thought You Should Know There Might be a Guys and Dolls Movie With Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon Levitt

by Susana Polo | 2:02 pm, April 25th, 2013

We’ll freely admit that this isn’t really in our purview, as a geeky blog, aside, perhaps, from the tenuous argument that could be made that folks who are super into “musicals” to be pretty geeky in their own ways. But if there’s something that stops all three editors cold as our brain short circuit and we can only whisper “yes. perfect.” at our computer screens because if we talk any louder we might scare the perfect thing away, it probably deserves a post.

Like, for example, a Guys and Dolls movie with Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon Levitt in roles made famous by Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.

Lex Luthor or Jim Halpert Possibly to Star in Guardians of the Galaxy?

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:30 pm, January 4th, 2013

There have been a ton of Guardians of the Galaxy casting rumors floating around as of late. By my count there’ve been seven actors reportedly in contention to play the lead role of Star-Lord (aka Peter Quill), the latest being Joseph Gordon-Levitt. And now you can add two more to the list: Michael Rosenbaum, best known for playing Lex Luthor in Smallville, and The Office‘s John Krasinski. And Drax the Destroyer has gotten in on the rumor mill as well, with three actors reportedly vying to play him.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt May be Branching Out of the DC Universe to Guardians of the Galaxy

by Susana Polo | 2:45 pm, January 2nd, 2013

There’s a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy casting news floating around, because, well, there’s not much else to talk about right now. It’s not even really casting news, just information on who Marvel Studios has on their shortlist. And while that’s nice and all it’s only interesting to a point. But talking to an actor from the other big superhero franchise that you just went up against in the summer blockbuster season?

Okay, now you’re getting my interest gears going.

People Are Saying Joseph Gordon-Levitt Will Be Batman In Justice League, We Shush Them

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:40 pm, November 27th, 2012

We often pass on stories where “unnamed sources” or “sources close to the production” are the main source of “facts.” Most of the time they turn out to be wrong and we’ve not only wasted our time writing about it but we’ve gotten all of you in a tizzy over nothing. Ourselves included. But we couldn’t let this one pass us by, particularly when you consider our deep love for all things Batman and near-obsessive defense of the character. “Sources” are saying Joseph Gordon-Levitt is absolutely going to play Batman.

Review: Looper, You Can Do Better

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:36 am, October 1st, 2012


There’s this trend with my moviegoing experience: The more I’m looking forward to a movie, the most disappointed I am by it. Case in point: Looper. I’d been anticipating it for months, following its updates on Tumblr from back before it was even shooting, getting all excited about what director Rian Johnson’s (Brick, The Brothers Bloom) take on sci-fi would end up being like.

The answer: Kind of a mess.

A spoiler-free summary before I delve into the (spoiler-filled, so be warned) review: Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a specialized type of hit man called a looper. When his employers, who hail from 30 years in the future, want someone killed, they send them back in time—where their body won’t be identifiable—for a looper to shoot. This cut-and-tried business arrangement is complicated when a future version of Joe (Bruce Willis) shows up.

Get it? Got it? Good.

The Dark Knight Rises, But Not Above Impossible Expectations [Spoilers]

by Zoe Chevat | 12:34 pm, July 23rd, 2012

Christopher Nolan is nothing if not an exacting director. Under his guiding hand, the films he’s best known for are idea-laden, exposition-loaded rambles of stark, intense action. They demand sharp intakes of breath from audience members, a certain gripping of armrests. They ask for focus, concentration, and belief. In The Dark Knight Rises, the closing chapter of his Batman trilogy, he delivers, for the most part, what was ordered; a terse, gritty piece about a war-zone struggle. There are ruthless leaders, hopeless negotiations for relief from the outside, and noble heroes in dire peril, striving to save all the lives they can with meager resources. TDKR is an action thriller with goosepimple moments aplenty, something Nolan & Co do well. It almost feels like a shame that, amidst this fantastic setup, they are contractually obligated to include Batman.
