Currently wowing audiences in the US following it’s release last Friday, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut, DON JON, will arrive in the UK next month. It’s a feel-good comedy which he also wrote and stars as a shallow-yet-likable New York City hunk, Jon Martello. A ladies man and gym obsessive who finds himself falling for the girl of his dreams, 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.

DON JON co-stars Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Brie Larson, Glenne Headly and Rob Brown. It’s out now in the US and in the UK on 15th November.
