Made for just under $500,000, Brick is a crime drama starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Johnson has often said that he looked to the novels of Dashiell Hammett as inspiration for the film's unique use of language. While the film is classified as a film noir, Johnson claims that during production no references were made to film noir so as to focus the production away from reproducing a genre piece. Brick was released on DVD by Focus Features.
The Brothers Bloom, is the next film from Johnson, which started filming March 19th, 2007. It's a con-man film starring Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, and Rinko Kikuchi.
Rian directed the video for The Mountain Goats' song "Woke Up New" in 2006.
Rian has made a number of short films, some of which are available on his website. His short film from high-school titled Ninja Ko is available as an easter egg on the Brick DVD.
