The increasingly brilliant and talented Joseph Gordon Levitt moves behind the camera for his directional debut DON JON, with the actor also leading a New Jersey gym hunk dedicated to his family, friends and church. Unfortunately his very unrealistic expectations about love and sex come from his addiction to porn and as such, he’s struggled to make his relationships work. This presents a problem when he falls for his very own stunning dream girl Barbara, played by Scarlett Johansson.
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’ve a brand new trailer and poster for DON JON, which is released in the US on 27th September and in the UK on 15th November. It also features Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Brie Larson, Glenne Headly and Rob Brown.
