Tony Danza has been cast in Joe’s directional debut:

Nearly two decades after co-starring together in 1994′s “Angels in the Outfield,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt has tapped Tony Danza to play his father in his upcoming directorial debut, which co-stars Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore.

Dark comedy stars Gordon-Levitt as a porn-addicted, modern day Don Juan from New Jersey who sets out to become a less selfish person. Johansson will play Gordon-Levitt’s girlfriend, while Danza is making a deal to play the protag’s sports-loving father who doesn’t pay enough attention to his family.

Gordon-Levitt wrote the script and his “Looper” producer Ram Bergman will produce with Nicolas Chartier, whose Voltage Pictures will finance the film. Production is skedded to start shooting next month in Los Angeles.

A television icon thanks to ABC’s two hit series “Who’s the Boss?” and “Taxi,” Danza’s last notable appearance on the bigscreen was as a Hollywood director in Paul Haggis’ Oscar winner “Crash.”

Danza is repped by Paradigm and manager Dan Farah.

We’re understandably excited for Rian Johnson’s “Looper.” It’s got a mind melting premise, a badass trailer and promises of a classic Joseph Gordon-Levitt performance.

We thought that it was impossible for anyone to be more excited about “Looper” until we talked to Gordon-Levitt. He’s really excited.

Gordon-Levitt spoke to us for our Summer Movie Preview and couldn’t help but mention the upcoming sci-fi film with his “Brick” director Johnson.

“‘Looper’ is, to be honest, some of the best work I’ve ever done as an actor,” Gordon-Levitt said. “I really transformed myself. Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed ‘Brick,’ is—I think—one of the greatest filmmakers going.”

In his praise for Johnson, Gordon-Levitt even went as far as comparing him to two other directors he worked with this year, Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg. “[Johnson] actually has a lot in common with Chris Nolan and Steven Spielberg. He’s a brilliant, brilliant guy. I cannot wait for people to see that movie,” he said.

The trailer that dropped last week was enough to convince us to see “Looper,” but Gordon-Levitt said that’s only the start of the fun. “From that little trailer, you can hardly get it. They wanted to make a big, banging action movie trailer, which is accurate because it is a big, banging action movie,” he said. “But when you actually see the movie and you really get a sense of what those prosthetics look like, I’m really excited for people to see this character because it’s just nothing like me. That’s my favorite thing as an actor, to create a character that’s other than myself.”

Check out MTV New’s interview with Joe about his upcoming movie, Premium Rush:

Few actors can claim to have a 2012 quite as full of big movies as Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The 31-year-old actor isn’t just reteaming with his “Inception” director, Christopher Nolan, for “The Dark Knight Rises,” but he’s also starring in one of the most talked-about releases of the year, “Looper,” and preparing his directorial debut, “Don Jon’s Addiction.”

On top of all that, this summer he’ll headline “Premium Rush,” an action film about a bike messenger caught up in a conspiracy.

MTV News spoke with Gordon-Levitt about learning to bike like a pro, acting opposite Michael Shannon and trying not to die in the process.

MTV News: A bike messenger isn’t exactly your typical action hero. What was your reaction when you first heard the concept?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: I just think it’s kind of a brilliant idea. It’s a summer popcorn action movie. Instead of glorifying cars and gun, it glorifies bicycles. I think that’s great.

MTV News: It’s kind of refreshingly lo-fi.

Gordon-Levitt: I think that makes the action, in a way, a lot more exciting. There’s no computer-generated action in this movie. It’s all guys that actually performed these things. I had four doubles in this movie. Every day, I rode all day, but there are four other guys who are good at different things. One of them is an actual bike messenger; he rides really fast in traffic. One of them is really good at riding a trial bike, a different sort of bike, which is good for jumping and stuff. Another guy does tricks but on a fixed gear bike. Another guy’s an actual Hollywood stunt man, so he’s getting hit by cars. Honestly, when an audience sees a real human being doing things, it’s just more exciting than computer-generated, what amounts to a cartoon.

MTV News: How realistic is the biking in this movie?

Gordon-Levitt: It’s pretty realistic. It’s definitely a fun action popcorn movie, so you know, it’s a guy in an extreme scenario. It’s not like a slice of life, everyday thing. It’s a movie like “Speed” or “Die Hard,” where a guy ends up in an extreme situation and has to deal with it. I’m on the bike most of the time. It is a movie that takes place a lot on a bike, of course, not the entire time. It all takes place in one day, and it’s a chase movie.

MTV News: How long did you train to get yourself into bike-messenger shape?

Gordon-Levitt: I trained every day for a couple months leading up to this movie. I rode hard every day and all day. That will take it out of you. You have to be in the proper condition to do that kind of thing. I was definitely in really good shape when we were shooting. You can’t get to be like what these guys do in a short amount of time. The guys who doubled me, they rode bikes their whole lives and are some of the best in the world. I wasn’t doing any crazy tricks or anything like that. That’s what the doubles were doing, but I definitely was riding a lot, riding through traffic, riding with cars, riding fast and doing scenes at the same time, performing dialogue and stuff. Those were definitely my favorite scenes to do. The cool thing was that we actually shot it. They would put a camera on the back of a motorcycle and go down the street, and I would ride and perform a whole scene on the phone, riding through traffic. That’s a really fun way to do a scene.

MTV News: Where are your priorities when you’re acting in a scene like that?

Gordon-Levitt: The priority is not dying. You can do another take and get the scene right, but then it’s just about rehearsing enough. Doing line, that’s something I’m good at. I can do that easy. It actually makes it more fun, makes the lines come to life more, to put them on a bike like that.

MTV News: Similarly, having Michael Shannon as the villain has to make that character easier to fear.

Gordon-Levitt: Man, that guy! I think he’s one of the best going, honestly. When I found out that he was going to play the villain, I was like, “Oh, wow. Now this is a movie.” To be perfectly frank, he is by far my favorite part of the movie. Honestly, he is so good. It’s definitely worth seeing “Premium Rush” just to see Michael Shannon play this villainous New York cop in an action movie. It’s f—ing great.
