    The ‘Don Jon’ director has relocated his television project from Los Angeles to New Zealand so that he could continue filming safely amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Oct 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Joseph Gordon-Levitt has taken his dream TV project to New Zealand because it’s one of the only places on earth he feels safe amid the coronavirus pandemic.
    The actor had just started work on the mystery show in Los Angeles when the global health crisis shut down production and he relocated his family to New Zealand so he could continue.
    “I feel really lucky to be here with my family…,” he tells “The Talk”. “We were trying to get it going again in L.A. but we couldn’t find a way that felt really safe to us, so we came here to New Zealand. This is one of the only countries in the world… They’ve handled the pandemic in an incredible way and life is, like, normal.”

    The project is believed to be a new drama about a schoolteacher, called “Mr. Corman”, which Joseph is not only writing and directing – he’ll star as the titular character.
    The project will mark Gordon-Levitt’s major return to television. The 39-year-old actor grew up starring on multiple TV series, including the long-running NBC comedy “3rd Rock From the Sun” for five years. Following a hiatus, he mostly focused on big screen roles in the past decade.
    He made his feature film directorial debut in 2013 with romantic comedy “Don Jon” where he shared screen with Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore.
    Last year, the Golden Globe-nominated actor starred in action thriller “7500” and made a cameo in “Knives Out”. His two new movies “Project Power” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7” were recently released on Netflix.

      Joseph Gordon-Levitt Talks About What It Means to Play Cop in Post-George Floyd World

      The ‘Dark Night Rises’ actor says playing cop onscreen means something different following the worldwide Black Lives Matter movement to fight racial injustice.
      Aug 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Joseph Gordon-Levitt has changed his attitude to playing police officers following the death of George Floyd at the hands of cops in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
      The death of the unarmed Floyd, after an officer knelt on him during an arrest, and that of Breonna Taylor, who was shot during a no-knock alleged drugs raid, sparked Black Lives Matter protests across the world.
      Gordon-Levitt, who played a police officer, Robin, in “The Dark Knight Rises”, as well as in new Netflix film “Project Power”, says he’s now much more ambivalent about portraying cops.
      “It means something different to be playing a police officer now than it did in 2018,” he tells The Guardian. “But, on the other hand, it’s nothing new at all. These same exact tragedies have been happening my entire life.”
      The star says he believes police should be held responsible for their actions, but also perhaps need to not be sent into situations where armed law enforcement isn’t needed.
      “There are these situations when individuals in the police force do awful, terrible, unspeakable things that they need to be held responsible for, but maybe cops are assigned to handle too wide a variety of things,” he adds. “Maybe in a lot of cases it would make more sense for a social worker to show up instead of a guy with a gun.”
      Explaining why he felt the need to address the issue, he continues, “I feel somewhat responsible to make my opinion clear now that I’m playing a police officer in a big movie that’s coming out.”
      “Project Power” is available on Netflix now.

      Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Save Hijacked Plane in New Movie

      by

      Augenschein Film

      The ‘Looper’ actor is keen to be a part of the new movie ‘7500’ because there’s ‘a lot of improvisation on the part of the actors as well as on the part of the camera.’
      May 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Joseph Gordon-Levitt has jumped on board a new hijack movie, in which he plays an unlikely hero.
      In Oscar-nominated short film director Patrick Vollrath’s feature-length debut, “7500”, the actor portrays the co-pilot of a flight from Berlin, Germany to Paris, France, which is overrun by terrorists.
      Gordon-Levitt tells WENN he took the role in part because he was intrigued by Vollrath’s decision to film the movie as an “improvisational exercise.”
      “He explained how it involved a lot of improvisation on the part of the actors as well as on the part of the camera,” recalls Gordon-Levitt. “And letting the camera roll for 20, 30 or even 40 minutes at a time and just letting the actors become the characters and live the situation.”
      Vollrath reveals he cast Gordon-Levitt as co-pilot Tobias because he was not an obvious action film hero. “I was very much looking for not Bruce Willis, not a Special Forces-trained guy who can use all his abilities to solve the situation,” the director explains.
      “Tobias is an everyman who never expects to be in a situation like this and hopes he never will be – and then it happens. So he’s as overwhelmed as you or I would be. He had to be someone the audience likes from the moment he enters the cockpit. So we’re on his side even when he has to make some incredibly difficult decisions.”
      Fortunately for Gordon-Levitt, the pilot in the film, played by German actor Carlo Kitzlinger, actually flew planes for Lufthansa for 20 years, so the American star had a seasoned technical adviser by his side, and the duo spent two weeks in flight simulators prior to filming.
      The film is released via Amazon on June 19, 2020.
