What are your thoughts on Joseph Gordon-Levitt dropping out of Django Unchained?

Question

http://www.imdb.com/news/ni25722183/

This may or may not have been posted already, but I haven't seen anything about it yet. I know that the role is supposedly somewhat insignificant (I haven't read the screenplay yet) but I feel like it's still noteworthy.

BQ: Which are you looking forward to more: Django Unchained or Moonrise Kingdom?
BQ2: Do you think that Gordon-Levitt and Tarantino would be a good match?
BQ3: Did any of the Y!A Movies section regs fall into The Hunger Games hype? Would you recommend it to me as someone who hasn't read the book?
BQ4: Can you recommend me a great "Western" film that I might not have seen (decade doesn't matter)?

Thanks for any answers, and have a good one

Answer 1

Not a huge blow, but it would've been interesting to see him in a Tarantino movie. The cast is still incredible



BQ- right now Moonrise Kingdom considering it's coming out next month, and I've already seen the trailer 5 million times. DU comes out in 8 months and it barely just started filming. both are def gonna be incredible though

BQ2- honestly I don't know. it would either be perfection or a bomb

BQ3- I bought the book but really never got the interest to read it so I gave it to my 12 year old neighbor. I'll probably catch the movie on DVD

BQ4- The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Rio Bravo



oh yeah, and more importantly, good luck today (not really)

Answer 2

I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but I think if someone from the cast had to leave I would choose him anyway. He's a good actor but I don't think him dropping out of DU will have any great impact on the final result of the film.



BQ: Django Unchained, but I am looking forward to Moonrise Kingdom a lot too.

BQ2: To be honest, for some reason I think no, but who knows

BQ3: I didn't get excited about it when it was coming out, but I saw it with some friends and it was really good, I haven't read the book though. But yes I would recommend it.

Answer 3

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a very talented actor. Very versatile,so I am excited to see what he bring to D'jango Unchained. BQ: JGL also has Dark Knight Rises so most definitely 2012 will be a big year for him. Who else... Jeremy Renner with The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy - He is also taking over Mission impossible,Jennifer Lawrence with Hunger games and House at the end of the street , and my personal favorite Idris Elba with Ghost Rider:Spirit Of Vengeance and Prometheus ( he is big now but he is only getting bigger ) --- I am sure I am missing someone. Maybe Gosling too but I thought this was his year with out question with Crazy, Stupid, Love , Drive , Ides Of March ... I wouldn't be surprised if next year too.

Answer 4

Well I was looking forward to him being in it and I bugs me, BUT , I will still watch it

BQ Moonrise Kingdom

BQ Yeah I do

BQ3 Yes they did. I enjoyed the movie and am reading the books now

BQ 4 A Man Called Horse

Answer 5

Hey! Hey!



I was 25% excited that JGL was in it so my feelings towards it is 'meh'. The movie STILL retains it's awesome cast and according to a ton of articles he had his reasons, (scheduling conflict with his own directorial debut). "He had to drop out of the role due to a scheduling conflict with his directorial debut, Don Jon's Addiction. He tells the site, "No, I'm not going to get to do that. I'd love to, but it just doesn't work. I've been in touch with Quentin about it, and it was so cool to trust me to do this little part in his movie. I would have loved, loved to have done it. He's one of my very favorite filmmakers, and he was really supportive of me directing, and that meant the world to me."

If he's been in touch with QT like he says he is, I'm sure he'll get a much bigger/better part in another one of QT films. It'll work out for him. :) I'm just super excited to see him in Dark Knight and Spielber's Lincoln (which has DDL) now. :D :D :D



BA: Why Django of course!

BA2: Yep, he's very serious about his work. JGL is creatively involved in a lot of his side projects (hitRECord, YouTube- been pretty vocal politically). I think they'd make for a good match.

BA3: Haha. I know no new information about the hunger games through Y!A. Any recommendations or hype I followed has been through word-of-mouth and friends. I would definitely recommend to read the books first. (or at least the first book before watching the movie)

BA4: Uhh I don't watch too many westerns myself but 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' was pretty good. My mum practically forced me to watch it since it's her favourite movie of all-time. As a person who normally doesn't enjoy "westerns" I do highly recommend it. :) :) :)



You too! Have a good one!
