First trailer for 'Don Jon', Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut

It was pretty much a given that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut, Don Jon, was going to be a festival darling. The immensely-talented and extremely popular actor (dude made playing Batman's sidekick cool!)  took his porn addiction comedy to Sundance and SXSW where it won rave reviews and was bought by Relativity Media for a hefty sum. Now the trailer has finally hit the web, and it looks like a supremely confident rom-com that could be the start of an interesting career shift.

"There's only a few things I care about. My body, my pad, my ride, my family, my church, my boys, my girls and… my porn." Gordon-Levitt plays the titular lothario who sees his list of priorities suddenly change when he meets Barbara (Scarlett Johansson), who is more than a match for his charms. Falling in love, everything seems perfect until she walks in on him enjoying his porn collection. Stylishly directed and featuring a couple of surprising cameos in a "movie within the movie" moment, Gordon-Levitt may have a sleeper hit on his hands.

Co-starring Brie Larson, Julianne Moore, and Tony Danza, Don Jon hits theaters on October 18th.
