A Message from Joseph Gordon-Levitt

We love us some JGL and have been following his website, Hitrecord.org, for some time now.

Yesterday he put up a personal message, almost a press release, about his new film, Hesher, which he’ll shoot before starring in the next film from Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight).

He writes:

Before starting work for Mr. Nolan, I'm doing this independent film called HESHER. I love it. Don't wanna tell you too much about it, specifically, because personally, I prefer watching movies that I don't yet know much about. I will say that the director is named Spencer Susser, and he's the genuine article. Natalie Portman is producing and playing a part, and I think it goes without saying how cool that is. And I've taken up smoking for the temporary time being -- sorry kids!

And there's another reason I wanted to break this news here among the hitRECorders. In the 20th Century, in the Old Media, actors (or any other type of artists) didn't have a direct dialogue with their audience. They had to go through the press. Well times have changed, and I gotta say, I much prefer it this way. I think the Hollywood Reporter is going to report on this story tomorrow, and I'm super grateful, and they're awesome for doing that. Still, it feels good to speak for myself.

again by heart
