Everybody’s lovable boyfriend Joseph Gordon Levitt is directing a movie! Not only that, but he wrote the movie, too!
Deadline broke the news yesterday afternoon:
The film is a sexy comedy about about a modern-day Don Juan, and his quest to become less of a “selfish dick.” He plays that character, and there is another female lead role that will be filled shortly.
Can we say “triple threat”?
“I wrote myself a helluva role,” Gordon-Levitt went on to say, “one that people wouldn’t necessarily thought of me for.”
Scarlett Johansson has already signed onto the project, as well, which goes a long way in explaining that old ScarJoe Gordon rumor. Of course! They weren’t dating! He was just writing her into a movie script. Aha! (It doesn’t explain why they were making out, though; then again, nothing can explain that one.)
Here is the best part about the Internet, you guys: I didn’t first hear this news from Deadline at all. Rather, I read about it at Joe’s very own Tumblr. I don’t even read newspapers anymore! I just read Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook.
According to Gordon-Levitt’s video diary, the movie will start shooting in April.
