A New Old Skywalker

Recently, I went to see the new Star Wars. I know, I wanted to see it sooner, but I have babies. Anyway, getting home from the cinema, I was curious to see what people were saying about the movie, and what I discovered surprised me. While most critics and many fans loved it as much as I did, there was also a passionate contingent who decidedly didn’t. [Click for full article]

Do you know why Joseph is going to Germany? Is it for a film?

When I first saw this ask, I didn’t know how to answer it, because Joe hasn’t signed on to movies in ages and hasn’t filmed anything since Snowden 2 ½ years ago.

But now ScreenDaily is reporting, he is indeed in Germany for a movie called “7500″ which began shooting today. He is replacing Paul Dano who dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.

ジョセフ・ゴードン＝レヴィットは『スター・ウォーズ／最後のジェダイ』にエイリアンの声としてカメオ出演するようです。

Rian Johnson attended a ‘fan meet-up’ press conference in Japan and made it clear that Joe makes a cameo voice appearance as an alien in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”

“You know what I can tell you is that my – and we haven’t said this yet, but I think this is OK to say – is that my very good friend, the actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was in a movie I made called Looper, he does a cameo as a voice of an alien in the film. It’s a very brief little thing, but it’s fun, and if you watch the movie, maybe you’ll be able to hear and pick out Joe’s voice in the movie. That’s the first time I’m revealing that.” [source]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Amazon’s ‘Comrade Detective’ Doesn’t Belong to the Right, or the Left — Exclusive

Amazon’s “Comrade Detective” has been embraced by both sides of the political spectrum, but star Joseph Gordon-Levitt tells us neither one has it right. The real enemy is tribalis…

I wrote something about Comrade Detective..

[jglnews]

However, “Comrade Detective” isn’t only making fun of Eastern Bloc Communism. It also takes a few shots at Western Capitalism, but in my opinion, that’s not it either. There’s a different “ism” that I think it’s really getting at — tribalism.

The Cambridge English dictionary defines tribalism as “a very strong feeling of loyalty to a political or social group, so that you support them whatever they do.” [...]

It seems to me there’s an awful lot of tribalism in our culture these days. Like, even more than usual. People are saying and doing irrational things, believing incredible lies, even resorting to violence, both on the Right and the Left.

An astute observation of the current political discourse not only in the US but all over the world.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Talks to Direct, Star in Musical Comedy With Channing Tatum (EXCLUSIVE)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is eyeing a return to the director’s chair, tackling a movie musical with Channing Tatum by his side. Sources tell Variety that Gordon-Levitt is in early negotiations to …

Finally an update about the musical Joe and Channing have been developing since last year:

To recap: Joe and Chan signed on for an original musical at Universal after Joe and Michael Bacall pitched the idea of two pilots getting into R-rated trouble. Michael, their friend, earlier co-star, and writer of 21 Jump Street has written the script.

Now Variety claims that Joe is in negotiations to direct the movie as well. Which is a bit surprising because Chan denied last year that either of them was up to direct it, because they wanted to focus on the performances, the singing and dancing.

Variety also has a bit more info on the plot:

The story follows two pilots who crash-land in Las Vegas. According to sources, the film is in the vein of “Pitch Perfect” meets “Book of Mormon,” with the dup covering Top 100 hits with a touch of adult humor.

And the working title is Wingmen.

Look at my son - Pride is not the word I’m looking for
