DON JON

Joseph Gordon-Levitt can add writer and director to his list of accomplishments with Don Jon, a film the multitalented actor also stars in along with Scarlett Johansson, Tony Danza and Julianne Moore. The story takes the guido/guidette stereotype and runs rampant with it, centering on a superficial guy whose first serious relationship is disrupted when his girlfriend discovers his porn obsession. The film sure looks like a lot of fun, with sort of a Boogie Nights meets Pain and Gain vibe. Watch out for Don Jon in theaters October 2013.

THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS SPIVET

Jean-Pierre Jeunet hasn’t released a film in almost five years, so it’s welcome news that his newest offering, The Young and Prodigious Spivet, is slated for release later this year. Starring Kyle Catlett, Helena Bonham-Carter, Callum Keith Rennie and Jeunet staple Dominique Pinon, the film follows twelve-year-old T.S. Spivet (Catlett) as he journeys from Montana to Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian Institute to accept an award in cartography. There appears to be plenty of classic Jeunet in this film, with an air of Moonrise Kingdom meets Everything is Illuminated.

Check out the teaser trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s GRAVITY, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock as astronauts who are stranded in space after their shuttle explodes. It’s amazing how this minute and a half trailer is able to capture the tranquil beauty and the sheer terror of space at the same time. I don’t know about you, but I got goosebumps watching this video and I can’t wait to see it. Gravity plummets into US theaters in October 2013. 

GIRL MOST LIKELY

Kristen Wiig is fabulous in everything, and she will undoubtedly be magnificent in Girl Most Likely, a dramedy about a down-and-out playwright who goes back home to live with her mother after suffering from a meltdown. Also starring Annette Bening, Darren Criss and Matt Dillon, Girl Most Likely will be on limited release in the US in July 2013.
