The Dark Knight Rises

Film Appearance0 Comments

Gordon-Levitt plays John Blake in this final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Blake is a young police officer whose idealism and heroic deeds in solving crime in the city gets him a promotion from Commissioner James Gordon, played by Gary Oldman. The film also features Christian Bale as Batman, Michael Caine as butler Alfred Pennyworth, and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. On his character:

I would call him an idealist. Gotham has become a sort of a cynical place. It’s been eight years since the last movie ended, and Batman is nowhere to be seen, status quo has set in, the rich getting richer, no one asking a lot of questions. But Blake is the kind of guy that will raise his hand and he doesn’t mind ruffling a few feathers.

It’s closing the chapter on Teenage Dream, but it’s giving you such an inside perspective. This film, you’re going to see it from my best friend/buddy perspective, you’re going to see exactly what I mean and feel and think about everything.

Magic Mike

Film Appearance0 Comments

Channing Tatum portrays Michael “Magic Mike” Lane, a construction worker turned male stripper in Tampa, Florida who takes on a younger performer as his protege in the American comedy directed by Steven Soderbergh.

We were sitting over a beer and I told [Steven Soderbergh] that I was a stripper for eight months when I was nineteen. I said, ‘I want to make a movie out of it.’ And he said, ‘you should write it.’ And I’m like, ‘yeah Soderbergh, I’ll go write that.’ Cut to three or four months later, I read an interview where he said that he would be willing to direct. I called him up and said, ‘how much bullshit is in this article?’ He was like, ‘I’m as serious as bone’s spur, we should sit down.’ And we sat down . . . at Carney’s over a hot dog ironically enough. And we decided to do it.”
