Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut needs more cuts to get down to R Rating

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut was the talk of the town at this years Sundance Film Festival "Don Jon's Addiction" picked up nearly universal rave reviews, but many people also wondered: would the movie be able to keep the sex scenes intact?

In the film, JGL has the titular lead, a porn addicted lothario who begins a relationship with two different women and tries to unplug from the smut he thoroughly enjoys. The movie itself also contains a handful of porn clips, but it looks like they will be getting the axe.

The actor/director revealed to press he will have to make some snips to the movie down at an R-rating (18).

"Yes, we expect we have to do that and I'll be getting started on it as soon as I get back," Gordon-Levitt said, but he adds that he doesn't think it will affect the overall tone of the movie.

"I think it is important that those images are in there but what precisely you see isn't that important. What's important is the rhythm of the film, the repetition of what the Don Jon character does, over and over."

Don Jon's Addiction also stars Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore - release is not expected until September/October later in the year.
