Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be joining Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, Django Unchained. Variety reports that Gordon-Levitt is currently in talks for a role in the film, though its January shoot initially conflicted with promotional duties for his upcoming bike messenger movie Premium Rush … which coincidentally got bumped from January to August today. That should help! No word yet on whom Gordon-Levitt would play; there is a wealth of bad guy bit parts left, as well as the small role of Scotty Harmony, the sweet, shy 24-year-old who falls in love with Django’s slave wife. Django’s set for a Christmas 2012 bow, while Gordon-Levitt’s currently undated Lincoln is also circling December of that year — wherever it lands, Gordon-Levitt will have two very different emancipation pictures to promote next winter.
