Immediately after hitting the stage to carry out a are living present model of his hitRECord web site (dedicated to open collaboration manufacturing with his customers) at very last month’s Sundance Film Festival, it seems like Joseph Gordon-Levitt is lastly including a very predicted title to his previously long string of occupations. Gordon-Levitt will make his attribute directing debut with a nonetheless-untitled comedy that he has also penned. Additionally, he will also star in the movie alongside Scarlett Johansson.

Deadline Brentwood studies that the film is “a hot comedy about about a contemporary-day Don Juan, and his quest to turn into a lot less of a ‘selfish dick.’” Gordon-Levitt is, of study course, cast as that “selfish dick,” with Johansson grabbing one particular of two female direct roles.

He went on to say, “I put in a 12 months operating with Chris Nolan, Rian Johnson, Steven Spielberg, and I did my very best to pay consideration. I have also been generating brief movies for a extended time now, I’ve directed a ton of them, and that is a enormous element of why I feel comfortable and self-confident in this.” Well, he’s obtained a position there.

Gordon-Levitt’s timetable was surely entire enough ahead of he added this new challenge to it – he’s got The Darkish Knight Rises, Top quality Rush, Looper, and Lincoln coming out this 12 months on your own – and Deadline in fact had the forethought to inquire him about his smallish purpose in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. He instructed the outlet, “it will be challenging plan-sensible, but I was honest with Quentin upfront.” Although that’s not a company motivation, it’s not a complete rebuttal of his involvement.
