Relativity acquires Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Don Jon's Addiction" January 22, 2013 - 14:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Relativity Media has acquired Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut "Don Jon's Addiction" for $4 million, TheWrap said. The film premiered at Sundance to great fanfare, igniting a series of bids from distributors like CBS Films and The Weinstein Company. Relativity won out with a substantial financial commitment and plans for a wide theatrical release this year. It will support the movie with prints and advertising, with the commitment around $25 million, an individual told TheWrap. That would make it the biggest deal from the festival so far. WME, Gordon-Levitt's current agency, and CAA, his former agency, brokered the deal. "I always intended this to be a movie for a mass popular audience," Gordon-Levitt said in a statement. "Everyone told me it was a long shot. Now Relativity is making it happen." The film follows Gordon-Levitt - who also wrote and stars in the film - as a lady's man with a porn addiction. Dissatisfied with his life, he sets out on a Don Juan-esque quest to find love and a more satisfying sex life. Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Rob Brown, Tony Danza and Glenne Headly also star in the film.
