Boy meets girl
Boy falls in love
Girl doesn't

When Tom, a hapless greeting card copywriter and hopeless romantic, is blindsided after his girlfriend summer dumps him, he shifts back and forth through various periods of their 500 days "together" to try to figure out where things went wrong. His reflections ultimately lead him to finally rediscover his true passions in life.

This post modern love story is never what we expect it to be -- It's thorny yet exhilarating, funny and sad, a twisted journey of highs and lows that doesn't quite go where we think it will.

Split-Screen Behind the Scenes Video from EW.com

Here’s how Zooey Deschanel sets up a behind the scenes look at one of Joesph Gordon-Levitt’s scenes in 500 Days of Summer:

“Who doesn’t love Hall & Oates?” says Zooey. “Well, I’m sure there are some people who don’t. But there’s something so undeniable about the scene and the way ‘You Make My Dreams’ plays into it. Joe’s a great dancer.

“We actually did a sort of promo dance sequence last week,” she continues, “that will be on the internet. I can’t tell you any more. You’ll see! That was actually to one of my songs. I had suggested an early Marvin Gaye track, but it’s difficult with rights sometimes. Marc was listening to She & Him and was like, ‘Hey can we use one of your songs?’ We gave him a good deal.”

Note: This is spoilerish. You can always come back after you’ve seen the film.

Listen: Carla Bruni – Quelqu’un m’a dit

A taste of the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack, which will be released July 14th. I really can’t wait to get my hands on it and just go for a drive with the windows down. It’s the perfect album for Summer.

Carla Bruni is beautiful, talented, and the First Lady of France. Lyrics posted after the jump.

Sweeeeet Disposition… Interview w/ The Temper Trap

While in Austin for SxSW, we searched out the guys in The Temper Trap, who were cool enough to sit down with us for a few minutes and chat…in a 70s era Winnebago…despite playing three shows in a row that day. Enjoy this exclusive one-on-two, filmed by a very uncomfortably positioned Chase, with a couple of the boys from the band!

Thanks to Gordon and the Whale for passing on their interview with The Temper Trap. If you don’t recognize the artist, give the video a watch and you should recognize their song pretty quickly. Surprisingly, the band hadn’t even seen the movie yet when this was recorded.

A really enjoyable interview! Check out Gordon and the Whale’s interviews with Zooey and Joe too.
