Remember how Joseph Gordon-Levitt pulled out of ‘Django Unchained’ to direct, star, and produce or whatever his own film called ‘Don Jon’s Addiction’? Because it’s still on its way, and it still looks kind of ridiculous, despite having a stellar cast like Tony Danza, Julianne Moore, and Scarlett Johansson. Guess it pays to have good friends in the right places, because honestly? I can’t imagine Julianne or Scarlett signing onto something this silly-sounding if there weren’t feelings involved. Tony, sure—he’ll take what he can get these days and this was probably a pretty big break for him, but come on. ‘Don Jon’s Addiction’ is certainly not going to be any Tarantino, and that’s for damn sure.
Check out the gallery for a bunch of ridiculous photos of Tony Danza and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, because LOL.
I thought you had to read the internet for this job. This film has already screened at Sundance, and it was very well-received.

I bet she does read the intertubes.
The film rights for America was purchased and will be released in the USA this summer.
So it is still on its way.
Are you saying that getting a good reception at Sundance means that it will be good? That is mixed.
Or, perhaps, you’re saying that her opinion doesn’t count and yours does? Nope. Both of your opinions count. But, it’s her house, chief.
I think it looks passable at the movies, but I’m not a RomCom fan. I don’t care that much for any of the stars, either.
The premise, if you read it, sounds fairly shaky too. I mean, internet porn as a refuge generally means he’s sexually burned out, right?
I see it as a mixed deck. Men won’t (tend to) see it because it is a RomCom. Women won’t (tend to) see it because it is about some dolt buggering anything that moves. Scarlett won’t carry the film as the woman women want to be.
JGL won’t bring the women and Scarlett … no.
He is a good actor though, and maybe he’ll be a good director.
