Joseph Gordon-Levitt Instagram – 7500 – New film out today on @amazonprimevideo. First movie I’ve come out in since 2016! Took some time off when I had kids, and for my first acting job back, I really wanted to find a unique creative challenge.
The director, Patrick Vollrath’s shooting style is different than anything I’d done before, highly geared towards the actors being able to fully immerse themselves in the story. We wouldn’t stick to script, wouldn’t stick to marks, would just leave the camera rolling and stay in character for these long stretches of time. It was extremely challenging, but deeply rewarding.
Gonna be honest, this is not a popcorn movie to put on and chill out. It’s an emotional exploration of a controversial and often oversimplified narrative involving prejudice, extremism, and how the dehumanization of “others” can perpetuate a tragic circle of violence. If you’re in the mood for something artier, something intense, I think you’ll appreciate this one. I’m really proud of it. | Posted on 19/Jun/2020 01:39:42
