Don Jon caught my attention immediately. First of all, the trailer, in itself, is brilliant. I think most of us would agree that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a great actor, but it's his knack for taking the skeleton of a character and adding just the right amount of original elements to make it jump off the screen that puts him in truly rare company. From watching the trailer, it's pretty clear that the Don Jon character will follow suit.
JGL is not only starring in this movie, but also trying his hand at the whole writing/directing thing. Now usually, I'd be weary of a big name making a jump to another field. Think MJ in baseball. But in all honesty, I feel like this is one of the few guys that can pull it off. He seems to have a true appreciation for the art of making movies. He's not a simple piece of the process, but rather the essence of the entire thing. Check out the trailer for Don Jon and tune in tomorrow for yet another top five trailer that has caught my full attention.
