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.

New, Exclusive 500 Days of Summer Clip!

The MTV Movies Blog has just posted a so-called exclusive clip of 500 Days of Summer. I have an inkling that this is the scene of Summer and Tom (Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt) running through IKEA. Check out the clip below for yourself:

Unfortunately I live in Canada and can’t watch the clip… so help me out and please describe the scene in the comments below!

video posted: 500 Days of Summer Q&A from SXSW

Thanks to James Wallace from gordon and the whale dot com for filming and posting the Q&A that followed the 500 Days of Summer screening at South by Southwest. “Check out their post-film Q&A for what not to do if you are in a giant theater and you want to ask Zooey D. out on a date.” The panel consists of writers Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, Matthew Gray Gubler (who plays Paul), Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel, and director Marc Webb.

Some of the topics that are covered include some of the inspiration for the film, how some music was chosen and symbolism behind the color blue. Definitely a Q&A directed to people who have already seen the film (obviously) but enjoyable either way!

Just over 18 minutes. Video after the break below.

500 Days of Summer preview in the 2009 Academy Awards

If you stayed up late enough to watch the credits of the 2009 Academy Awards you would have caught a small preview of 500 Days. No new footage from the film, but it was nice to see 500 Days of Summer listed as a “film to watch.”

Here’s the end of the show if you missed it. 500 Days comes on at 1:10.
