Premium Rush (2012)
Director: David Koepp
Description: Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors, and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and suicidal nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when a routine delivery turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. When Wilee picks up his last envelope of the day on a premium rush run, he discovers this package is different. This time, someone is actually trying to kill him.

For a while, it was beginning to seem that the incredible ensemble cast for Quentin Tarantino's southern take on the spaghetti western was almost too perfect. Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chistoph Waltz, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kurt Russell. It's the ideal hodge podge of actors, the exact kind of mix that Tarantino is known for working with, but due to scheduling conflicts, "Django Unchained" is losing one cast member. Back in February Deadline reported that Gordon-Levitt was deciding whether he could still appear in "Django Unchained" as his first directorial effort, "Don Jon's Addiction," started to come together. But the actor recently confirmed to MTV News that his busy schedule will keep him out of "Django Unchained." "No, I'm not going to get to do that," Gordon-Levitt said. "I'd love to, but it just (Read More)

'There are no giant anvils or anything' David Koepp may be best known for his writing gigs - he's the man behind many of Brian De Palma's thrillers as well as Spider-Man and Spielberg's War Of The Worlds - but he's turning his hand at directing again with thriller Premium Rush . Taking a leaf out of his aliens' book, we sent Empire 's news probe snaking into the Koepp basement and made him share some nuggets on his tale of bike courier Willee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who ends up cycling for his life when he picks up a certain package. Think Collateral meets Breaking Away . "I wanted to do a map movie about getting to a certain place at a certain time," says Koepp, "and a bike courier seemed a logical person to do that. Getting that feeling of speed moving through traffic was the whole challenge of the movie." Koepp's first directorial gig since 2008's Capra-lite romance (Read More)Empire Online
