Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Star in "Terrifying New Genre Film" Titled PENDULUM That's Being Produced by Darren Aronofsky

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception, 50/50) has signed on to star in a new movie titled Pendulum that is being produced by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Black Swan, The Whale). Black Swan co-writer Mark Heyman is directing as well as writing the script.

Described as a “terrifying new genre film,” the film follows the young couple Patrick (Gordon-Levitt) and Abigail on a journey to a New Age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event.

Patrick is willing to do anything to help his wife but becomes distrustful of the retreat’s enigmatic leader even as Abigail falls under her spell.

As paranoia builds, the couple must determine if the group’s unconventional spiritual practices offer genuine healing – or mask a terrifying truth that threatens to consume them both.

The film will start principal photography in March 2025 in New Mexico.

Aronofsky is currently shooting the crime thriller Caught Stealing starring Austin Butler for Sony Pictures. The film follows Hank Thompson (Butler), a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ’90s NYC.

In addition to Butler, the film also stars D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Vincent D’Onofrio, Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Will Brill, Bad Bunny and Griffin Dunne.
