In order to play a younger version of Bruce Willis’ character in Looper, Joseph Gordon-Levitt underwent three hours of makeup each day before filming.

One of the best parts of Boardwalk Empire, the award-winning Prohibition crime drama on HBO, is Michael Kenneth Williams as Chalky White, a bootlegger and the unelected mayor of Atlantic City’s African-American work force. The role comes after several years on The Wire, another crime drama.
Usually a film from WWE Studios means it’s some wacky action-comedy starring one of the company’s many wrestling stars.
