 Jay L. Clendenin has captured some stunning portraits of JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT and ELLEN PAGE for the Los Angeles Times. The photos accompanied Geoff Boucher's recent 'Inception' feature entitled: 'Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ellen Page embrace the 'Inception' of smart projects'. Check out some more shots from Clendenin's photoshoot below - plus quotes from Boucher's article... Read the full interview HERE. “There are people I meet who are my age or younger who are doing brave, sincere, courageous, rad work. It's just that the other stuff is what media gives its attention to and there's people who play into that because it facilitates their profession which is, I guess, being a celebrity. I try to focus on the different things and fight off being cynical.” - Ellen Page  “In the last 10 years, we are in nothing less than a renaissance and pop culture is going back to what it used to be. The big, cliquish machine that used to have all the say, is in its death throes and we're seeing the worst of it come out, but I don't think it's long for this world. I think other things, beautiful things, are much more popular now but the executives at the big media corporations cant keep track of it all because their system isn't built to do that. The way that I get my media? I don't turn on a television, ever. I don't turn on a radio, ever. That isn't to say I don't watch TV -- I will watch some shows, which I get to pick, online. I read stuff and look at photos based on recommendations of people I trust and know all over the internet.” - Joseph Gordon-Levitt  “I'm listening to a lot of vinyl records and it's not some hipster, retro thing... The other night my friend and I just lay down on the floor and listened to Joni Mitchell and [Radiohead's] 'Hail to the Thief' and to Leonard Cohen. I love the iPods, but when was the last time that I sat at a computer or whatever and could listen to a whole album without getting ADD and saying, 'Check out this cover by Feist...'' “ - Ellen Page  “Mr. Nolan is a beautiful example of someone doing exactly what they want to do. This movie wasn't developed by committee... I think that goes to show that more than ever there's room for quality and challenging things to become popular. Sure, there's still a lot of stupid stuff out there but things are changing, I think. And I'd say that Ellen and I are also examples. [ to Ellen Page ] Ten years ago, do you think that you and me would be in this position we're in, in a huge summer movie? I feel like they would have looked for people that were less unexpected, if that makes sense. You're in this position because you're an awesome actress, because of your talent and the quality of your work. It's not because of some celebrity thing.” - Joseph Gordon-Levitt |
