Quote of the Day: Joseph Gordon-Levitt on Making Profitable, Good Films
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Mystery, Noir, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
“There’s a lot of stuff that gets created for the love of it, and there’s a lot that really does get created with almost no love involved. Just to make money. I think of Chris Nolan as a shining example of somebody who can do something for the love and still succeed at the money game. A lot of people make excuses and say, ‘Ah, well, there’s no room for love here. We have to make money.’ And I love to point to Chris Nolan and say, ‘F*ck you guys. This guy’s making more money than you are, and he’s making beautiful, genuine movies.’”
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt explains how his Inception director Christopher Nolan can make good films and make good money.

New Inception Trailer Still Trippy, More Exciting
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Mystery, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Is it really important for you to understand what a movie about before deciding if you want to see it?
Although I was already intrigued by the first trailer for Inception, this newest teaser has me pumped like no other summer movie has so far this year.
So what is this film about? Dreams? Heck, I don’t care. Christopher Nolan + Leonardo Dicaprio + Joseph Gordon-Levitt + Cillian Murphy + a Matrix-y vibe = opening night tickets for me.
Inception unfolds in theaters on July 16.

2010 Golden Globe Nominations (Film)
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Biopics, Drama, Family, Foreign, Foreign Language, Musicals, Period, Political, Romance, Science Fiction, Comedy, Sports, Awards, Lists,
The 2009-10 awards season kicked into high gear this morning with the official announcement of the Golden Globe nominations. The event - which will be hosted by funnyman Ricky Gervais - will take place just over two weeks before the Academy Award contenders are revealed.
Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of film nominees:
- Up in the Air leads all film nominations with six. The musical Nine follows with five while Avatar and Inglourious Basterds tied with four.
- As expected, Meryl Streep has received another two mentions—unfortunately, they are both in the Comedy category (Julie & Julia, It’s Complicated). On the surprising end, Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side, The Proposal) and Matt Damon (Invictus, The Informant) both have two nominations as well—thankfully, in different categories.
- Talk about drama! An ex-husband and wife will be competing against each other in the Best Director race. (Avatar‘s James Cameron and The Hurt Locker‘s Kathryn Bigelow.)
- Despite backing from both Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, Precious is not a contender for Best Film. Mo’Nique and Gabourey Sidibe were both recognized for their excellent acting though.
The 67th Golden Globe Awards airs Jan. 17 on NBC.

500 Days of Summer Without the Script
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Independent, Romance, Comedy, Celeb News, Filmmaking, New Releases, Scripts, Videos,
The cute overload that is 500 Days of Summer continues, as stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel performed an impromptu, short version of how the film would be without a script.
Set to present an award to the film’s screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel ditched the teleprompter and offered a silent skit of the elevator/Smiths scene. Then the pair realized that they wouldn’t have had stage directions without a script and redid the scene appropriately (albeit, quite boring and proving a good point).
It’s nice to see actors who appreciate those other people working on a film.

First Look: DiCaprio in Nolan’s Inception Thriller
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Mystery, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
While little has been spoken about Christopher Nolan‘s follow-up to The Dark Knight, the trailer makes it clear that he appears to have secured another summer blockbuster with Inception.
Set to hit theaters July 16, 2010, the sci-fi film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, and Michael Caine.
Let’s hope for the sake of all our sanity that the film doesn’t meet the same fate as Leo’s other upcoming thriller.

Celebrity Double-Take: Joseph Gordon-Levitt vs. Heath Ledger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Independent, Celebrity Gossip,
For today’s installment, we have Joseph Gordon-Levitt (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) on the left and the late Heath Ledger (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) on the right.
Aside from the fact that the two actors experienced extreme transformations to portray two of pop culture’s most notorious villains, Cobra Commander and the Joker, the pair could pass off as brothers when the makeup comes off!

Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt Just Want to Dance
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Music, Romance, New Releases,
(500) Days of Summer stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt know that they’re just about the cutest on-screen couple ever. Banking on that infectious charm, the pair star in the She & Him music video for “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?”
Directed by music video veteran (and director of (500) Days) Marc Webb, Gordon-Levitt plays a bank robber who decides to dance with the teller (Deschanel) before running off with the money. Once again, it seems as if the trio can’t stop producing quality work together!
