I hope you weren’t counting on seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, because it ain’t gonna happen. He has decided it will not fit into his busy schedule.

Gordon-Levitt is getting set to make his directorial debut with Don Jon’s Addiction. The shooting schedule for this conflicted with that of Django.

Levitt:

“No, I’m not going to get to do that. I’d love to, but it just doesn’t work.”

Hmm… Okay, but is Taratino pissed?

“I’ve been in touch with Quentin about it, and it was so cool to trust me to do this little part in his movie. I would have loved, loved to have done it. He’s one of my very favorite filmmakers, and he was really supportive of me directing and that meant the world to me.”

Thanks for clearing that up, Joe, I would have hated to think Quentin was upset with you.

No word on who will replace gordon-Levitt in the role, but I’m sure all it takes is a phone call from Taratino. Actors are still clamoring to work with him.

Django Unchained hits theatres this Christmas.
