3rd Rock From The Sun

Photo: Focus Features This just in (not really, but it makes it sound important): Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience has underperformed. Expected to make in the area of $30 million, the 3D picture that thought it could has come in at just under $13 million. Now, since it has been heralded as a "concert experience," I'm not sure if it really qualifies as a movie... but hearing about this sad, un-Miley-like box office implosion, I started wondering: What happened to movies with teen themes? Can't Hardly Wait... She's All That... Boys and Girls. The American Pie franchise has been relegated to DVD reprisal, and last I heard, 10 Things I Hate About You is now in development to become a TV series... which seems weird. Well, here's what I think happened to movies primarily featuring teen storylines: they sucked. Oh, that might seem like a harsh conclusion -- I watched and loved them all,

Are you surprised that Joseph Gordon-Levitt escaped Third Rock from the Sun with his subtlety in tact? I mean between French Stewart and John Lithgow, that's a whole lotta queso. I think Lithgow even won the Emmy for Most Acting in a Comedy Series in 2000.

But Gordon-Levitt has become a great young character actor, and if he was a bigger guy, he'd be in the talks for all these superhero movies launching right about now. Watch Brick and The Lookout, skip (as nearly everyone did) Killshot, and wait with bated breath for 500 Days of Summer, in which he's terrific.
Christopher Nolan likes what he's seen out of Gordon-Levitt, adding him to join the growing cast of his Batman spacer, Inception, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Leonardo DiCaprio was the first name attached to the film, and in the weeks since, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, and Ellen Page have been signed.
