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.

Video: Behind the Scenes of 500 Days of Summer

Access Hollywood has released a short behind the scenes video for 500 Days of Summer! It has quick interviews with Zooey Deschanel, Joe Gordon-Levitt and director Marc Webb and features many new, great clips from the film (including some Matthew Gray Gubler love.)

I like romantic comedy as a genre but I think it can get really very stuck in its ways and I so excited to read a script for a romantic comedy that was really fresh and different. — Zooey Deschanel
