“Poker Face” is the latest TV role for Gordon-Levitt, as he currently stars in the first season of the Showtime anthology series “Super Pumped,” playing former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick. He even had small voice cameos in both “Knives Out” and “The Last Jedi.” Gordon-Levitt has had a role in each of Johnson’s projects since, including starring in the film “Looper” that Johnson wrote and directed. It also marks a reunion for Gordon-Levitt and Johnson, who worked together on Johnson’s feature directorial debut “Brick.” The neo-noir film debuted in 2005 at the Sundance Film Festival with Gordon-Levitt in the lead role. Gordon-Levitt is the first confirmed cast member of the series besides Lyonne. “Poker Face” received a 10-episode order at Peacock in March 2021. Details on the character Gordon-Levitt will play, including how many episodes he will appear in, are also under wraps.
Plot details for the series are being kept largely under wraps, though sources say the show will follow a procedural format and see Lyonne’s character working to solve different murders in each episode. And Steven Spielberg is the type of genius to put something like this in to throw people off.Joseph Gordon-Levitt has joined the Peacock series “ Poker Face,” the mystery drama starring Natasha Lyonne that was created by Rian Johnson. The story ends with our hero lobotomized and left in jail having fantasies of what he actually wanted to have happen. His dreams did indeed come true but it's only a dream. The halo showed him everything he wanted. Which leads a lot of people to believe, John Anderton never escaped that prison. John and his wife get back together and she gets pregnant so they're going to have another kid.
Regardless the Pre-Cogs are set free and live in a beautiful log cabin together. Burgess solves the catch 22 and makes things simple by just killing himself. Or don't kill him, which would prove the Pre-Cog's visions as wrong and undue the Precrime division. that he would murder someone and go to jail. Burgess gets caught as the real killer and John has a choice, either kill him and prove the vision was true. Action happens and the ending is just the neatest bow ever. Meanwhile the kidnap Pre-Cog "Agatha" is returned to Precrime where for some reason Burgess ends up accidentally revealing he's the killer and is trying to set up John. where there didn't seem like they had many people guarding it during their escape, his ex-wife Lara is capable breaking him out. First of all his ex-wife of all people shows up to the prison and breaks him out.
So odd many people think John never escapes that prison.
This is where many people draw similarities to the movie Total Recall, as the rest of the movie just seems odd. That all your dreams come true." Then John is fitted with his halo and is placed in his prison. It's here where the prison guard describes the state of mind prisoners feel under the halo effects "It's actually kind of a rush. Where they strap a halo on to the prisoner which places the prisoners into a bliss like coma.
He decides to make a run for it, kidnaps one of the Pre-Cogs and tries to clear his name.ĪNYWAYS, it's at one part of the movie where John is actually captured and brought to their special future prison. Until one day the Pre-Cogs get a vision that John Anderton will commit the next murder. When the Pre-Cogs get a vision the Precrime unit are sent out to stop the murder before it happens. He's at first very passionate about the work they do, since his son was kidnapped and been missing for 6 years. John Anderton is part of the elite law enforcement agency known as Precrime. They are three siblings with supernatural abilities that allow them to see into the future and predict when a murder is about to happen. Since it is an older movie I'll go over the plot quickly.Ĭrime has basically been completely wiped out from society due to the power of the Pre-Cogs. Minority Report starring Tom Cruise as John Anderton was a box office hit as a futurist sci-fi crime thriller. Yet no one can really come to a definitive answer on it.
I would love to see MatPat cover one of most argued film theories I've been hearing about since the release. SPOILERS! (Also I looked for an official Film Theory sub reddit and they said there wasn't one so if I'm in the wrong place sorry)
