How Gordon-Levitt Transitioned from Child Acting At the age of 31, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has appeared in over 30 films, fromAngels in the Outfield to Inception. With his new film Premium Rush about to hit theaters, ET asked him about his smooth transition from being a child actor to one of Hollywood's biggest actors. "There's certainly some degree of luck. I've been really fortunate," Gordon-Levitt said of maintaining his acting career over the years. "I just love work. I love doing it. So, I keep trying and focus on the movies themselves. I guess there's a lot of other stuff that can come along with show business, and frankly, that stuff never interested me very much, but movies are something I just very dearly love." Gordon-Levitt's co-star Dania Ramirez, who plays one of his character's fellow bicycle messengers in the film, analyzed his continued acting success as a validation of his true talent. "It's a testament to your talent also," Ramirez complimented. "I think it's hard to maintain a career from a young age and continue to work. The only thing that takes you far and gives you longevity in anything is how good you are at it." Gordon-Levitt's narrowed-in focus on his career took on an analogous form for his approach to shooting Premium Rush, in which he rides a bike through the busy city streets of New York. "It's nice because you only have one thing on your mind and that's: just looking ahead," the 31-year-old actor said. "In this day and age...there's always so much on your mind, so many...places your mind can go, but when you're on a bike, all of that has to go away." That dialed-in focus unfortunately couldn't prevent an on-set accident for Gordon-Levitt that required stitches after he crashed into a taxi that wasn't part of the set. Notwithstanding the accident, he said that the film dedicated itself to performing real stunts despite readily available computer graphics. "I had four stunt doubles...and that's the cool thing. There's not a lot of fake, digital, CGI (computer-generated imagery) stuff in this movie. It's real people doing these crazy things on bikes."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and David Koepp Talk 'Premium Rush' and the Star's 32 New Stitches David Koepp is no stranger to a solid action movie — he was the screenwriter for Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, andSpider-Man before he turned his eye towards directing — and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, 500 Days of Summer, and 2012's The Dark Knight Rises) is slowly becoming a familiar name paired with Hollywood's best movies, big and small. The duo of creatives have joined forces for this week's Premium Rush, a chase thriller that leaves behind the usual over-the-top tropes in favor of crazy stunts and a unique world: New York City bike messengering. If anyone could pull it off, it was these two, and the off-beat premise works. Koepp's intimate action flick wows with on-location stunts and zippy dialogue to match, with Gordon-Levitt and an army of stuntmen making it all look easy as pie. Turns out, Premium Rush wasn't so easy to actually get in the can. Unless you think flying through the window of a taxi cab is "easy." I sat down with Koepp and Gordon-Levitt to discuss how the two brought the innovative stunts to life without spending too many days in the hospital: Hollywood.com: Premium Rush is about the thrills of zipping through New York City traffic on a bike, but it's also about being absolutely in love with that feeling. It made wonder: do the two of you remember when you learned to ride a bike? David Koepp: I remember vividly my kids learning to ride, because it happened recently. I remember my son Nick was learning to ride the bike and it was just killing him. He just kept falling. He could hold the bike, but he couldn't stay up. It was one wipeout after another. I remember he brought it back to the house at one point and threw it on the porch and said, 'Don't ever make me go on this horror machine again!' I love 'horror machine.' He got it one day. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I was probably six or seven, something like that. Growing up with an older brother… they can do everything, you can't do anything! There was that. I remember it as a truly magic moment. And I mean magic as in unexplainable. You don't know why now it's working and ten minutes ago it wasn't. It's not like you figured it out in your conscious head or anything. Now it works, now you can do it. So quickly this thing that was impossible… you don't remember why you would fall over. It's just natural. And then (no pun intended) you feel 'the rush.' Which is why I love your character in the film. He just loves biking so damn much. David, how did you become enthralled by this love and the world of biking? Koepp: I live [in New York City] and you see bike messengers and they almost hit you all the time. And you wonder, who are those a**holes? And I like a movie that takes place in a contained period of time or a contained place. I had this image in my head of what I called a 'map movie.' I wanted to see a map and a guy who had to get from point A to point B. Gordon-Levitt: So that's the reason the movie takes place between Harlem and Chinatown? Koepp: Kinda [Laughs]. It takes you all the way down and all the way across. Columbia [university] and Chinatown, and that's how those evolved among other reasons, then I wanted him to do it on a bike because I hadn't seen bikes going through the streets of New York and it seemed like an incredible cinematic opportunity that I hadn't seen since Quicksilver [dir. Thomas Michael Donnelly, 1986]. I was surprised to see the bike messengering community being so close-knit and vivid. Koepp: They're really tight. Online there is the New York Bike Messenger Association and I just started reading that. It's a really tight community. So we then started meeting a few of them. As advisors for the movie, but they're also in the movie. What I loved about it is that they have an ethos, and a really simple one. 'I want to ride my bike.' And that's it. You look for more, but it isn't there. 'I want to ride my bike. If I can get paid to do it, all the better.' Gordon-Levitt: I found strong sentiments in that community of environmentalism — more bikes, less cars. I found a lot of people really quite conscious of the fact that riding a bike, which comes from a basic love from when you're a kid… that if more people rode bikes and less people drove cars, that the worldwould be a better place. It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle. Gordon-Levitt: And a statement. We featured a video on the site where real life bike messenger/your stuntman Austin Horse… Koepp: Isn't that a great name? The perfect stuntman name, in fact. Watching him speak, Horse exudes that lifestyle. Did you learn about the biker character through him? Did he bleed into the performance? Gordon-Levitt: Certainly. He's a very different guy than the character I play in the movie. Austin is gentle, mild-mannered and extremely considerate, whereas Wilee is more of a balls-out punk rocker on two wheels. But once Austin gets on a bike… it's kind of funny to see because he's a modest dude who gets on a bike and he's like a superhero. He turns heads. I rode around with him — we'd go for rides on the weekends — and people turn their heads and watch him. Koepp: The first time we shot him, he said, 'How fast do you want me to go?' And we said, 'Well, go as fast as you can go.' And he says, 'Well, I can go pretty fast.' And I thought: 'We have cars.' So it's take one and he was just gone. There was no prayer of keeping up with him. So I say, 'Cut… eh, take a little off it.' [Laughs] A motorcycle would do much better weaving with him. There's a fluidity to it that's amazing. Gordon-Levitt: It's beautiful. Anytime you see someone do something with a God-given talent, when they're that excellent at it… and that's at the core of these action scenes. It's not some grand, CG whatever. It's about really talented guys doing things for real. Koepp: Being able to admire what real people can do. It was important that it was a stunt movie. The actors always wanted to do more than we would let them do. I think it's an incredible physical accomplishment. Reality is a key component of this movie. What were the logistics of shooting on the actual streets of New York, trying to pull off stunts while surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city? Koepp: It was a nightmare. It was really, really, really f**king hard. I'm happy when people say, 'It looked like so much fun!' because that means you didn't see us sweat. The city is tough. It's uncontrollable. A New York City 'lock up' doesn't exist. You think you have it but then a diplomat drives over the cones in your lane and makes Joe crash. Or a SWAT team barrels through [laughs]. There's never total control. How does that work for the acting side of things? There is a lot of talking and riding in this movie. Is having an element of danger helpful to the performance? Koepp: [To Gordon-Levitt] You know, we never talked about that. Gordon-Levitt: The time when the SWAT team barreled through was not helpful for my performance [laughs]. Yikes, no actual accidents I'd hope. Gordon-Levitt: Oh no, there were accidents. One really bad one. Koepp: Do you still have that? [Gordon-Levitt lifts up his right arm to reveal a scar.] Oh. Sorry about that. Good Lord. Gordon-Levitt: This is 11 of the stitches. The other 21 of them are scattered around. What's cool though is that you actually put it at the end of the movie after the credits. Koepp: It was a scary moment. So we had three lanes of 6th Avenue closed. Joe's riding uptown and all there is is our stunt cars and our stunt drivers. And the rule is the stunt cars can't change lanes — only the guy on the bike can change lanes. He's got weavability and no one is going to cut him off. So a diplomat in an SUV in the free lanes decides he doesn't like the traffic. So he drives over the cones and into our lane, right as we call action. So here comes Joe at 30 mph and the guy cuts him off. Then the diplomat, who I'm sure is an a**hole from some awful country (although we never found out which), is also angry and decides he's going to get out of his car and yell at people. Now Joe has to use his Bike-O-Vision [Wilee's stylistic Spidey Sense in Premium Rush]: he can either go straight and hit the guy (doesn't seem like a good idea), swerve to the right into live traffic where they aren't expecting you, or go this way where you can't tell what's up there but, fingers crossed, there's nothing and you'll be OK. So you go with that. Except there's a cab. He crashes through the back windshield of the cab and cut himself to ribbons. It was awful, because there was about 30 seconds between his crash and the moment I hear it, so I have to go check if he's dead or not. That was the worst part for me. Gordon-Levitt: You get so flooded with adrenaline that I didn't feel any pain at all. Not until later that night. I flew off the handlebars and went through the windshield and I was immediately like, 'Oh s**t, sorry! I'm fine.' And then you look at it and you're like, 'Oh Jesus Christ, look at that!' Dave comes running up really scared, really nervous. I told him, 'You have to record this!' I cajoled him, after lots of convincing, to take out his phone and shoot some video of me bleeding and the broken glass. To my delight, when I saw the movie he actually put the footage in after the credits. Koepp: When you got it….

Premium Rush is Speed on a bike. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a rogue bike messenger who rides New York streets with one gear and no breaks. Dania Ramirez plays Vanessa, another messenger who uses a hand brake and needs a more reliable guy. But when a package needs to be there by 7 and there’s bad guys on your tail, Wilee’s the guy to deliver, literally. We got a quick chat with the stars of Premium Rush together. (Possible spoiler for The Dark Knight Rises if you haven’t seen it yet, but I was as vague as possible with the question you want me to ask.) CraveOnline: We have 10 minutes so this interview will be a premium rush. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Okay. Is the message of the movie: We should really tip our delivery men and women? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Sure. Dania Ramirez: [Laughs] You’ve each experienced people acclaiming your work. How does it feel to have people saying, “Awesome?” Joseph Gordon-Levitt: [Laughs] Great. Dania Ramirez: Great. Is that a new form of feedback for you? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Every movie’s unique. Dania Ramirez: I think every movie’s unique but it’s always great to be celebrated. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I hope that people rather than just watching and saying, “That’s awesome,” I hope that people want to ride bikes. I remember specifically going to see White Men Can’t Jump in a movie theater, coming out and just really wanting to play basketball. Movies really do have the power to do that, even just a fun movie like this that’s not really trying to forward any message or moral per se. But if it inspires people to ride, man, bikes are just about the healthiest thing you can do, both for yourself and for the planet. So I’m all about it. If White Men Can’t Jump made you want to play basketball, did you ever see Quicksilverback in the day? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I still haven’t seen this movie. A lot of people brought it up. Dania Ramirez: We were just talking about that. Everybody comes up to both of us. I didn’t want to bring it up because obviously Premium Rush isn’t copying it, but thinking about how you might see it in the same context as White Men Can’t Jump. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yeah, no, but I found especially a lot of people who are really into bikes had seen the movie and brought it up, but I meant to see it. I just didn’t get around to it. Had you ever thought about bike messengers before this movie? Dania Ramirez: I mean, I’m originally from the east coast so I grew up being around them all the time. I didn’t really think specifically about that culture. I think it was very cool that we got a chance to explore the culture by finding out about them in preparation for the film. That was really interesting. Besides the physical aspect of learning to ride, what about the technical side? How long did it take before you could stay where the camera was and not drift out of frame? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yeah, that was pretty fascinating. They would mount a camera on the back of a motorcycle and then control the camera from the remote control, either in the van they were driving in or they would have the camera mounted on a crane on the top of a big SUV or they would take little digital cameras and stick them to the bottom of the bike. They did a lot of really cool creative stuff. Dania Ramirez: That’s one of the things that makes it authentic and realistic really. Even if you went off camera, you could always sort of catch up to the camera again and continue the scene. It was more about us knowing that we had a certain amount of blocks in which we had to deliver our lines. Sometimes you caught a certain line on camera and sometimes you went off but you always sort of found your way back. That’s what makes it feel so authentic and real. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yeah, but once you get used to doing dialogue while riding, it actually is a huge boost and help to making the scenes feel real and grounded when you have a really engaged physical activity like that. What was your learning curve as far as hitting marks on a moving vehicle, and saying lines when you might be out of breath? Dania Ramirez: This was different than hitting a mark. I think a lot of it changed all the time because you’re always riding. You’re delivering your lines while you’re riding the bike. You just always have to be conscious of where the camera was and try to choose where you were at for those particular lines. Joseph, it’s been exciting to interview you over the years from indie movies to bigger and bigger movies. When did you gain confidence as an actor? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Well, I don't think there’s any one moment. It’s a gradual thing and that fluctuates. Sometimes I feel real confident and sometimes not so. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid, always really loved it. Certainly when I see you do HitRecordJoe shows live, you can really work a crowd. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Oh yeah? Cool, man, thanks. Both of you came from television, but Joseph you did a “Quantum Leap” and a “Family Ties” episode. What were those experiences as a young actor? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I had a great time, man. I learned a lot. The episode of “Quantum Leap” that I was in was the first time that Scott Bakula got to direct one, so that was really cool, getting to work with him directing me. I don't know, maybe that even eventually led to now I’ve directed something and acted in it at the same time. I hadn’t put that together yet but it’s been a while since I thought of “Quantum Leap” but I had a great time doing it. I’ve always just loved working. That’s always been what motivated me to do this is I just really enjoy the process of doing it. One Dark Knight Rises question for you, in any other sequel we would assume it’s set up for another one. If this is supposed to be the last one, was there any talk of having you available for something else? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: It’s not really for me to say. Dania Ramirez: I certainly am looking forward to it, maybe, hopefully. Would it be a tough call if Christopher Nolan doesn’t direct another one? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: You know, I choose my projects based on if there’s a great script and if there’s a filmmaker that I’m inspired to work with. That’s how I choose all my projects. At Comic-Con I actually broke that you weren’t doing Little Shop of Horrors. It was widely reported before. Was Warner Brothers solid on you or something? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: No, that’s just the internet repeating rumors. And there was no G.I. Joe 2 for you? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Nope. What about shooting Lincoln? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: That was a very cool thing. I’m very grateful to have done that. I haven’t seen any of it yet but I’m quite positive it’s going to be an outstanding movie. Would you be up for the further adventures of Wilee and Vanessa? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: [Laughs] Dania Ramirez: [Laughs] I don't think they’re going to be bike messengers much longer. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dania Ramirez on Premium Rush I thought Wilee’s going to do it forever. Dania Ramirez: You never know. I’m up for working with Joe again any other time. Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Absolutely.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Scar-Turn in "Premium Rush" In the frenetic thriller "Premium Rush," actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Dark Knight Rises," "Inception") and Dania Ramirez ("Entourage," "American Reunion") play a pair of New York City bicycle couriers who inadvertently wind up having to pedal for their lives in a deadly game of chase. Written and directed by David Koepp ("Snow White and the Huntsman," "Angels & Demons"), the story unfolds on city streets as Wilee (Gordon-Levitt) and Vanessa (Ramirez) hustle to deliver a mysterious package that's come to the attention of a crooked NYC cop (Michael Shannon) who'll stop at nothing to get his hands on it. Ramirez, 32, and Gordon-Levitt, 31, sat down to chat about the intense preparation involved, the quirks of shooting in America's busiest city and how Gordon-Levitt will always have a physical reminder of his role. The riding sequences are pretty intense. How much training did they give you? Gordon-Levitt: We had about six weeks. Ramirez: They were pretty good about the training. Especially because we had time after we were cast in the roles to train, before shooting began. We had six weeks of training then we had training in New York throughout the filming. We were in pretty good shape. How long did you have to film in NYC? Gordon-Levitt: Two months, thereabouts. Was anything shot in the studio? Gordon-Levitt: None at all. We shot everything in New York City. Ramirez: That was a charming part of the film is that we were going to get to go to New York and ride bikes all throughout the summer. How hectic was it shooting on location like that? Ramirez: It was challenging. Gordon-Levitt: It’s intense and people don’t want to be told that they are not allowed to cross the street. Ramirez: We would do a take and there was no way to really shut down major New York streets. They would shut down one lane but always keep a lane open. So we were often weaving in and out of real traffic. Did you have to go back and do a lot of re-recording because of the street noise? Gordon-Levitt: There was some. But that’s part of the reality of these characters. They’d be speaking loudly, yelling even, in real life so we did that. And that made it a lot easier for the sound department. Any run-ins with New York locals? Ramirez: This guy headbutted one of our production assistants! I think the New York Post even wrote about it at the time. Did it feel dangerous to be on the bike and filming on the street? Gordon-Levitt: Well, every precaution was taken as much as they could. Everyone was very safety conscious. I wouldn’t claim it was dangerous the way that some people really do have dangerous jobs – like police officers and soldiers. But you did have four stunt doubles. Gordon-Levitt: Four stunt doubles, yes. Ramirez: I had three I think. There was always one other Vanessa on set, but my stunts were not as dangerous as some of yours. But we definitely had people there to step in for the really dangerous parts of the movie. You have to pay attention. I think that’s the bottom line. To become these characters you really had to take it on and not just be an actor on a bike saying your lines. Gordon-Levitt: I think for what I was doing, the danger was certainly minimized. I was riding fast and riding hard all day long, but what my doubles were doing was so dangerous. Absolutely 100 percent dangerous. That’s part of the appeal of this movie. When you watch action sequences that are fake or computer generated - basically what amounts to cartoons - there’s a big difference between that and watching a human being really risk their life. It’s just exhilarating. Take it back to vaudeville or Evil Knievel or whatever – it’s exhilarating. And that’s the foundation of the action in this movie. The more self-assured you both became on the bikes were you tempted to do more of your own stunts? Ramirez: I certainly fought to try to do as much as I could on the bike. There were certain things, obviously, that I couldn’t do. There’s a huge fall that I take where my bike goes up in the air and I go up the air. There was no way that I could do that. I’m an actress. That was my stunt double Asia. I bow down to her. Gordon-Levitt: There’s always a temptation. And you see it all the time, especially with actors. The testosterone kicks in and they think, “I can do that!” Especially in actors who maybe haven’t been in as many movies, but I am guilty of it, too. It’s not the right move. I did a movie with Bruce Willis, “Looper,” and you’ve never seen someone so safety conscious doing an action sequence. And ["Dark Knight Rises" director] Christopher Nolan is like that, as well. Both extremely safety conscious. I was also a bit more bull-headed until I got hurt. What happened? Gordon-Levitt: I got in an accident and needed 31 stitches during shooting. On my arm. So you’re going to carry a scar from this movie forever? Gordon-Levitt: Yep. There it is. [Points to scar on right forearm]. Ramirez: That definitely opened up everybody’s eyes. After that it was, “Oh, time for my double. I’m getting off the bike now.” Did that accident prompt the bandage you sport in the movie? Gordon-Levitt: Yes. That scene at the end of the movie was shot the morning after I had this stitched up. That bandage is actually there to cover a huge gash on my arm. So we stuck with it and incorporated it into the movie. You got away scar free, Dania? Ramirez: Compared to 31 stitches, sure! I fell off my bike on a regular basis. I kind of got used to it. I’d come home everyday and be, “Okay, so I fell off my bike again today.” And there is no learning how to fall properly because your feet are in cages and you’re one with the bike. So if you are going over the bike is going to fall on you.

Premium Rush video interview: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=93922

Interview: Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Dania Ramirez Talk 'Premium Rush' After years of honing their craft, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dania Ramirez have come into their own in the film industry. Audiences are keeping their eyes on the actors, especially in David Koepp’s latest cinematic adventure Premium Rush. The film stars Gordon-Levitt as bike messenger and thrill-seeker Wilee. He’s constantly in danger weaving in and out of traffic across the hustle and bustle of New York City. But when Wilee gets his hands on a mysterious envelope, he embarks on an assignment that may cost him his life. ScreenCrave recently spoke with Gordon-Levitt and Ramirez about embarking on such a stimulating film. The actors revealed how difficult it was to avoid scrapes and bruises, and told us what’s next on their busy schedules. When you first signed on, in the back of your mind did you think, “I’m going to get the best workout of my life?” Dania Ramirez : I was scared! I had bike phobia before I did this movie and I had told my agents that I could ride a bike. [ laughs ] So I was scared but I also know I’m incredibly focused and when I get into something I just try to forget about everything and do it. For me I was excited. I was excited to go and face my fears. Joseph Gordon-Levitt : The answer is a resounding yes. I was in the middle of shooting 50/50 when I first read the script for Premium Rush . That was a movie about a guy fighting cancer whose body is giving out on him. The idea of playing someone who’s extremely healthy and confident in his body sounded great. It was exactly the kind of contrast I needed. Great job on that film too! With something like Premium Rush, there have to be some injuries on set. Dania Ramirez : Your story is way better than mine! I had a few cuts on my leg. Joseph Gordon-Levitt : I got in an accident and I ended up with 31 stitches on my arm. How did that happen? Joseph Gordon-Levitt : Well it was sort of a perfect storm of a lot of things. It was partially my fault because I was going too fast but a diplomat got in the way. You know in New York City there’s the United Nations so there’s diplomats riding around with these diplomat license plates which basically means they don’t have to obey the laws. So they broke through our cones and double-parked right in the middle of where we were going. I went through the rear windshield of a taxi cab and bled all over the place. And it’s in the movie actually, which is a cool thing. Right when it happened, you get so much adrenaline that it doesn’t hurt right away. So the director rushed up and was worried sick. I was like ‘Holy s–t dude, we have to record this! Look at this f–king thing, I’m bleeding everywhere!’ and he did. He recorded a bit on his phone and put it after the credits in the movie. Dania Ramirez : There were a lot of falls and I just fell all the time. I fell when we were just training. I was in Santa Monica by the beach and I was trying to learn how to jump curves. I was going really fast and I thought I had it by then. So I just went like full all speed-out and I try to go, went sideways and skidded all the way for like maybe half a block. Our trainer was just looking back and saying ‘Are you okay?’ [ laughs ] I was like fine, fine! Because it’s true, the adrenaline’s pumping so you don’t really feel anything. So the next day I was in a lot of pain. What was it like working with David Koepp, who’s so experienced in this genre? Dania Ramirez : He’s a great director. He really knows what he wants. He makes it really easy for you as an actor to go in and ask him questions about what he likes or what you see and sort of meets you in the right frame of mind for your performance. I just really liked working with him. Joseph Gordon-Levitt : And David [Koepp] is just a master craftsman. He wrote the script for the first Spider-Man movie, the first Mission: Impossible movie and he wrote the script for Jurassic Park . He knows how to craft an action-adventure movie and it’s great to just sit and learn from a guy like that. He also just really enjoys it. You can tell he’s just having a great f–king time. You can definitely tell that everyone’s having a great time, especially Michael Shannon. He’s got such intensity on screen. He’s wonderfully over-the-top in this movie. You can’t help but love it! Dania Ramirez : It’s so interesting because actually working with him was a lot different to me than watching his performance. It’s a completely different vibe because when you’re in it, he’s so committed to being that villain that you are sort of scared of him. Watching his performance afterwards he’s so brilliant. You want to hate him but you just can’t because he’s making you laugh throughout the whole thing. Joseph Gordon-Levitt : It’s really fun when you’re watching from the comfort of your seat. When he’s actually standing over you like that it’s pretty intimidating. Then there’s your two characters with their intriguing relationship… Dania Ramirez : He’s so hard [to work with]! Joseph Gordon-Levitt : It’s so hard pretending to be attracted to this woman [laughs]. Dania Ramirez : Well I’m glad you thought we had good chemistry! [laughs] We were supposed to be selling a bit of a love story. Joseph Gordon-Levitt you’ve had such an outstanding career, especially within the past decade. You’ve become a favorite among directors like Christopher Nolan and Rian Johnson. How does it feel achieving such a milestone? Joseph Gordon-Levitt : Well thank you, that’s very very flattering. I’m lucky. I love doing it and I’ve been doing it for a long time. It’s been a gradual process of being able to do stuff that I like more and more. The last couple of years I’ve been extremely lucky being able to work with Chris and Rian and David. I’m having a ball. This movie was a ton of fun to do and I’m just grateful. Dania, what do you have going on next? Dania Ramirez : I’m filming a show called Devious Maids . It’s Marc Cherry who created the show. He created Desperate Housewives , so we are starting… I think we’re going to go film in November. I’m also producing a film that we’re planning to film right after, during my hiatus. It’s called Runaway Love and it’s sort of an unexpected love story and it’s myself, Michael Rapaport, Hayden Panettiere and Freddie Rodriguez . So we’ve got a pretty well-rounded cast. Cool! What’s the unexpected love story about if you don’t mind me asking? Dania Ramirez : Well it’s really about this Mexican woman trying to get back home to see her dying mother. She meets this other person along the way who’s like an orphan and has another bundle of issues. You go into this incredible adventure throughout Mexico and end up falling in love. Lastly, is there a specific genre or role you guys want to tackle but haven’t yet? Dania Ramirez : For me, I think it’s the movie I’m actually producing is definitely a role… it’s a leading role but it’s beautifully written. It’s a great character piece in which it’s a love story but it’s also an emotional journey of the soul. That’s a role that I haven’t gotten to play but I like to switch it up. I like to go from action to comedy to try to do everything. As an actor, that’s sort of what you want to do. You want to dive into all of these different places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt : I recently got to do a movie that I wrote and directed. That’s something that I’ve always wanted to do and it’s been a goal of mine for a long time. I’m delighted I got to do it. Premium Rush opens in theaters everywhere August 24th.

Thanks girls I know this isn't really on topic, but in my opinion very respectable of Bachchan

'Premium Rush's' Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dania Ramirez on Stunts, Stitches and Shooting in New York (Q&A) The stars of the bike messenger action film talk to THR about filming in record-breaking temperatures, and reveal the accident that hurt Gordon-Levitt more than his bloody, 30-stitches incident. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dania Ramirez star as a pair of bike messengers in New York City who become involved in a deadly game when a dirty cop finds interest in one of their deliveries. The fast-paced thriller winds through the dangerous streets of New York, with its stars spending the majority of time in the film riding bikes and handling intense stunts. Both Gordon Levitt and Ramirez spent many hours training on bikes for David Koepp’s film, and spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about working on the film, and why it was so important that they shot on location in New York. Also, Gordon-Levitt -- who needed to get 30 stitches after an accident on set -- reveals that he suffered an even worse accident just a few days later. The Hollywood Reporter: Were the real-life bike messengers open to speaking with you about their work? Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Yes, Some more than others, of course. I have four different stunt doubles in this movie and one of them is a working bike messenger and arguably the fastest one in town -- he happens to look a lot like me. His name’s Austin Horse. Super sweet guy, incredibly talented. Sometimes, you look at someone do what they’re good and it’s like, "That’s another level. You’re not just good at that. You’re a bit of a phenomenon." And I rode around town with him a lot and he turns heads. Literally. THR: Did you find that there were many women in this line of work? Dania Ramirez: From what I saw, there were as many women bike messengers as there are guys. And there’s some really bad ass chicks. The one thing that I did like to see is that the misconception of the bike messenger bad ass woman has to be sort of tattooed. I met a few of them, and some of them even ride in skirts. I met one, and her uniform was actually a pink skirt. I rode with her a few times. Women are just as into it as the guys are. THR: How would you describe your biking skills before the film compared to now? Ramirez: I think my bike skills were at zero, and now I’m training for the bike section of a triathlon in September. So, I got pretty good on a bike. THR: I can’t even imagine riding a bike without brakes. Gordon-Levitt: Well, Austin does ride without brakes -- I don’t ride without brakes. But to the kids reading at home, you shouldn’t really ride without brakes. The people who do are so exceptionally skilled. I never felt like Austin was unsafe without brakes because he can skid his wheels just as easily as you can push a brake pedal on the handlebars. I got to the point where I could skid a bit, but it’s not something I could just do anytime and anyplace. THR: Joseph, you got in an accident on set that made some headlines. You needed 30 stitches. Was that the worst accident on set? Gordon-Levitt: It’s funny -- that was a very spectacular accident because it involved loads of blood. Actually not that long thereafter, I fell off in a very unspectacular way. I fell off the bike and landed on my wrist, and I actually ended up having to tape my wrist the whole rest of the shoot. Whereas with the stitches, I was shooting the next day, just covered it up. So funnily enough, I was injured worse in a much less exciting situation. THR: Was this some of the most physically challenging work you’ve done in a film? Ramirez: Absolutely. This was the most challenging film I’ve ever done. You’re on a bike the entire movie. You’re having conversations on a phone the entire movie -- while you’re riding a bike through New York City. Gordon-Levitt: In the hottest part of the year, a record-breaking summer. THR: Were you glad it was shot in New York City? Gordon-Levitt: I think that’s a huge part of the charm. You really get to spend a summer day in New York. And Dave, as well as the cinematographer, did a great job capturing that -- that New York feel, which is truly inimitable. There’s no other places that feels like New York. There are movies that get away with being set in New York, but they shoot in Toronto or in downtown L.A., because maybe the setting is not as fundamental an aspect. But this movie, it’s a big part of the charm. Ramirez: It’s the huge silent character and unless we would have been there, I don’t think it would have worked out as well. THR: Were the regular New Yorkers on the streets cooperative with the film? Ramirez: I’m actually from the East Coast. I think we get a bad rap that we’re rude. I really think you have to command your space in New York City. So, the New Yorkers -- yeah, you’re going into their city and you’re shooting a movie and they don’t care. I actually kinda like that.
