I suppose the longer anyone spends on earth, the closer we all get to becoming superfluous characters. - Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Wrote an adaptation for the Brothers Grimm's Little Red Riding Hood for 2011-10-31.

[It's a] really smart, faithful adaptation of the book. The book is such a tight page-turner… The character I play is an extreme guy… He's a killer. He wants to be Jesse James. He grew up watching cowboy and Indian movies and wants to be that. Then he meets Mickey Rourke's character, who's named The Black Bird and he wants to partner up with him and be a criminal and kill people. He's a psychotic and very bad guy… The thing about him is, he's not the bad killer, the kind of guy that sits and stews and then has these rageful outbursts. He is this extreme extrovert who never shuts up and tells you ridiculously tall tales about himself and mythologizes everything… Hyperactive, hyper, hyper guy wearing cowboy boots.

I didn’t really like doing commercials. You had to behave like you were on angel dust or something.
