Don Jon (Blu-ray)

March 23, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Tony Danza, Glenne Headley
Director: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: March 24th 2014

Joseph Gordon-Levitt makes his writing and directing debut with Don Jon and also takes the lead role – so he was certainly busy. You have to wonder whether he thought his previous movies didn’t have enough sex scenes, so he wrote himself a movie where he got loads of them, and where he also had the chance to buff up to show off a very impressive physique. (I’m sure those weren’t his motivations though). [Read more…]

New Don Jon Trailer – Fresh look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut

August 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There’s been a lot of interest in Don Jon, largely because it’s the first film Joseph Gordon Levitt has directed. He also stars in the movie, alongside Scarlett Johnasson, Julianne Moore and Tony Danza. Now we can get a fresh look with a brand new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘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.’

It’s due out later this year. [Read more…]

Tony Danza Up For Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Directorial Debut

April 20, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Joseph Gordon Levitt started out in a sitcom (Third Rock From The Sun) and now for his directorial debut he’s reaching out to a sitcom legend and giving him a rare film role. Variety reports that Tony Danza has joined the cast of the untitled movie, which was formerly known as Don Jon’s Addiction. It’s not actually the first time they’ve worked together, as they both appeared in the 1994 comedy Angels in the Outfield.

As well as directing, Gordon-Levitt will play a womanising porn addict, who goes on a quest to become less selfish. Scarlett Johansson will play his girlfriend and Julianne Moore is portraying a widow who the main character meets at night school. Tony Danza will play the lothario’s father, who is obsessed with sports and doesn’t pay enough attention to his children.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will direct from his own original screenplay, with production set to commence next month in Los Angeles.

March 29, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Actress Julianne Moore has joined the cast of the Joseph Gordon-Levitt untitled directorial debut (once known as Don Jon’s Addiction), appearing alongside Scarlett Johansson who signed up to star in the film last month.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will also star as a Don Juan-type character, who goes on a journey to become a less selfish person. Julianne Moore will play a mentor to this lothario, but it still isn’t known what role Scarlett Johansson is playing.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will direct from his own original screenplay, with production is scheduled to begin next month. While acotrs becoming directors isn’t normally that interested, Gordon-Levitt’s a bit of a exception and many will be keen to see what he comes up with, and he’s certainly getting a good cast together to help him.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Turns Director, With Scarlett Johansson Starring

February 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt has landed Scarlett Johansson to star in an untitled comedy project, which will serve as the in-demand actor’s directorial debut. It’ll certainly be interesting to see how he does behind the camera, as he could well have an interesting and quirky eye.

Deadline says Gordon-Levitt will also star in the comedy as a egotistical womaniser, who goes on a quest to be less of a, ‘selfish dick.’ It isn’t known what role Scarlett Johansson will play, and there is apparently another female lead role that’s yet to be cast.

And just to ensure it really is the Joseph Gordon-Levitt show, he also wrote the original screenplay he will direct from.

The actor and now writer and director commented, “I was a child actor for years and quit at 19, went to school awhile, and a big part of why I came back was that I ultimately wanted to make movies. I spent a year working with Christopher Nolan, Rian Johnson, Steven Spielberg, and I did my best to pay attention. I’ve also been making short films for a long time now, I’ve directed a ton of them, and that is a huge part of why I feel comfortable and confident in this.”

Shooting is scheduled to commence April 16, which may mean Gordon-Levitt has to drop out of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, since production on that is scheduled to start around the same time.
