Premium Rush (Koepp, 2011) - Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon

Synopsis;
The pic centers on a New York bike messenger (Gordon-Levitt) who picks up an envelope at Columbia University, only to be chased throughout the city by a dirty cop desperate to get his hands on it. Shannon plays the deceptively affable cop with a violent temper. Chung would play Gordon-Levitt's ex, a fellow daredevil bike messenger who helps him outwit the cop. David Koepp is directing his and John Kamps' (Ghost Town) script for Columbia; Gavin Polone (Zombieland) is producing.

IMDb Page

I'm not crazy about the prospect of daredevil bike messengers, but Gordon-Levitt playing off of Michael Shannon has me intrigued so far. Koepp could be somewhat of a roll of the dice with this type of picture, though. Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

Agreed.

That alone makes this interesting for now.

Intriguing casting. Koepp has directed some real stinkers though. Secret Window was just awful, and Ghost Town got decidedly mixed reviews.

Video of Gordon-Levitt after crashing into a bad on bike during shooting.

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zDpbgIR300g&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zDpbgIR300g&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Levitt -- who ended up getting 31 stitches in his arm -- posted this graphic video on Sunday ... shot moments after he slammed his bike into the back of a taxi cab while filming a movie called "Premium Rush" in New York.

Levitt also wrote about the crash on his website, saying, "Busted through the rear window of a cab. Luckily got my elbows up. Coulda been way worse. No, but it was my fault, I was going too fast."

Dang. Seems like he's a true sport about it though. I'm glad he's ok and really admire his attitude about it.

/\ Yeah, he seems to be a pretty upbeat guy in any interview/appearance I've seen him in.

I think the one thing that made me like him about his personality was when he was talking about being in G.I. Joe. Like..he was ridiculously excited that he was in it. And regardless of it's overall quality..he did fine w/ what he had there and was good for what was given to him.

Holy crap 31 stitches, that cut had to hurt like hell & you would never know it from the way he was in that video. He smashed into that cab window?

Yeah, I think this is going to be crap. JGL and Michael Shannon should be working with directors like Steven Soderberg not hacks like David Koepp.

Does it matter really? He's a very solid actor, who also choose roles he finds fun ala G.I. Joe...

Reminds me I should watch Quicksilver again one of these days.

This movie looks like it could be fun though.

Looks like a direct-to-video concept with better talent. If it was DTV, Ray Liotta no doubt be playing the cop and some CW actor playing Levitt's part.
