Star of this summer's G.I. Joe movie and all around bad ass Joseph Gordon-Levvit recently sat down with MTV's Josh Horowitz and let slip a little on what he's up to next. He is collaborating with Batman Begins/The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan. It was really more of a non-comment, but we’ll take what we can get! “Here’s the thing,” Gordon-Levitt told MTV. “I cant wait to talk to you about [Inception] but I’ve been very specifically asked not to talk about it. I want to respect [director Chris Nolan's wishes] because I love his movies and I’m so honored and grateful to be working with him.”
There’s apparently a very specific reason for Nolan’s insistence on maintaining the silence for now.
“He’s got a really specific idea and way he wants people to be presented with this thing,” Gordon-Levitt said of the director’s plans.
Variety has previously reported that Inception is "a contemporary sci-fi actioner within the architecture of the mind," and recent speculation is the film has a $200 million budget.
Regardless, we know that Gordon-Levitt will play a role of some significance within the film. He wouldn’t go into any specifics of course, but he offered a sly response to the question of his role’s size. “I’m going to be working on it for awhile,” he said, laughing.
Now this is where I begin to speculate, because when Heath Ledger met his untimely death, the world lost a true talent. After seeing his Joker, I couldn't have thought anyone could have done a better job. But then I got to thinking, and my geeky thoughts turned to Joseph-Gordon Levitt and how he bears a striking resemblance to Ledger, in addition to sporting some extremely diverse acting chops. If anyone could or would replace Heath, it should be Joseph. Well then Joseph got cast in Nolan's in between flick, and now I just hold onto hope that Nolan re-uses the guy like he uses Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, and Christian Bale. Heck, maybe if they aren't interested in re-hashing The Joker, maybe Levitt could be The Riddler? What do you guys think?
