Joseph Gordon-Levitt to star in Sin City 2?

JOSEPH Gordon-Levitt is rumoured to be in final talks for a role in Robert Rodriguez’s ‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill’, playing the role of Johnny – a part which was previously offered to ‘Rum Diaries’ star Johnny Depp.

Deadline reports that Joseph’s character will be “core” in overlapping storylines that involve original cast members Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis and Rosario Dawson.

Newcomers to the feature, based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel, include Dennis Haysbert and ‘Gangster Squad’ star Josh Brolin.

In the meantime Joseph, 31, is set to share his directorial debut ‘Don Jon’s Addiction’ at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah later this year, in which he stars alongside Scarlett Johansson as well as penning the script. BANG!
