Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been tapped to direct an untitled AI thriller for T-Street Productions, the production company of Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman, with Anne Hathaway to star.
No word on plot details yet, but sources revealed Gordon-Levitt is directing the pic from a script he co-wrote with Kieran Fitzgerald.
Gordon-Levitt and Fitzgerald previously collaborated on the 2016 Oliver Stone movie "Snowden". Both share ‘story by’ credit with Natasha Lyonne, the star of Johnson’s hit human-lie-detector series "Poker Face" for Peacock.
The project is the latest in a long line of collaborations for Gordon-Levitt, Johnson, and T-Street.
Gordon-Levitt and Johnson’s friendship and creative partnership dates back to the 2005 "Brick", a high school neo-noir starring Gordon-Levitt, which is now a cult classic.
Gordon-Levitt went on to star as a younger version of Bruce Willis in Johnson’s sci-fi actioner "Looper", later guest starring on "Poker Face".
T-Street’s Bergman produced Gordon-Levitt’s 2013 feature directorial debut, "Don Jon", with Johnson also giving feedback on the script and reviewing multiple cuts of the film.
The project also reunites Gordon-Levitt and Hathaway for the second time.
They previously collaborated on 2012’s "The Dark Knight Rises" for director Christopher Nolan.
Amidst all the concern around the globe to how artificial intelligence will disrupt business and displace jobs, the technology’s rise has clearly become a major fascination for storytellers.
