(Cover) - EN Movies - Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Don Jon’s Addiction has found one lucky distributor at the Sundance Film Festival.

The comedy starring Joseph, Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore has been engaged in a bidding war at this year’s event.

According to Deadline, Relativity Media placed the winning bid on the highly sought after film. American rights for Don Jon’s Addiction were acquired by the company for the impressive sum of $4 million.

Joseph plays the lead character Don Jon in his film, which follows a porn addict on a quest for selflessness that is spurred on after being introduced to Scarlett’s persona.

Julianne will depict Don Jon’s classmate who is committed to teaching the character the importance of developing a rapport with lovers.

Apparently Relativity Media are prepared to invest an additional $25 million into the film to market and release it wide.

Don Jon’s Addiction has a number of nude and sexy scenes, so it is unknown whether or not the Motion Picture Association of America will rate the feature as R or NC-17.
