We can’t wait for Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s upcoming directorial debut DON JON, which he also wrote. The comic-drama centres on shallow-yet-likable New York City hunk, Jon Martello. After finding himself falling for the girl of his dreams (Scarlett Johansson), discovers his insecurities begin to rear their head when he compares her to the girls featured in the porn videos he simply can’t stop watching. Trouble is, Barb has her own unrealistic aspects about men.
Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old-fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to “pull” a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn’t compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old-fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she’s determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old-fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
We have another couple of clips and a link to a brand new featurette you can find over at IMDB.
DON JON co-stars Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Brie Larson, Glenne Headly and Rob Brown. It’s released in the US on 27th September and in the UK on 15th November.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
