Watch Director Rian Johnson Break Down His Movies and Let Us Know What Your Favorite Is!

Writer and director Rian Johnson recently sat down with GQ to break down and discuss some of the projects that he’s made over the course of his career. These films include Knives Out, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Brick, The Brothers Bloom, Looper, Breaking Bad, and everyone’s favorite… Stars Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi.

I like Johnson as a filmmaker, and he’s at his best when he’s developing his own original content. While I am interested in seeing what his vision is for the Star Wars trilogy that he’s developing, I’d be fine if he just kept making fun original films.

Johnson offers some interesting insight into his project and at one point he talks about working with Joseph-Jordon Levitt and compares his acting style to that of Laurence Olivier. When talking about Looper, he explained:

"I wanted Joe to look more like Bruce. I thought it would be fun. Like, we're making a sci-fi movie, let's go for it ... and also Joe is an actor who, in my experience, he's kind of an old-school Laurence Olivier style actor, where he kind of works from the outside to find the inside. He finds the voice, he finds the posture, he finds the costume, and that helps him find his way to the inner core of who the character is. So the notion of starting with literally a new face, where in the morning he would get out of makeup and look in the mirror and be looking at someone completely different was really appealing to him, and felt like the kind of fun swing that we could try with this."
