Joseph Gordon Levitt’s talents seem to know no bounds – actor, write, musician, reasonably good looking – and he is soon to add the title of director to that list.
Deadline have the news that he will be directing and starring in an untitled comedy with Scarlett Johansson.
The plot details are vague but revolve around a “modern day Don Juan, and his quest to become less of a selfish dick”.
JGL is a genius. He is making a movie where is character gets it on with Scarlett Johansson! Filming is set to begin in April.
Joseph is going to be all over the place this year as he stars in The Dark Knight Rises, Premium Rush, Looper and Lincoln.
There is one possible problem with his job directing as there may be a conflict with his small supporting role in Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino’s slave-era drama. “It will be tricky schedule-wise, but I was honest with Quentin upfront,” Gordon-Levitt said. “He was so cool and encouraging. He said, ‘You strike me as the kind of guy who would want to direct,’ and I took that as high praise.”
