Music video turned feature film director Marc Webb has gained plenty of acclaim for his debut film, 500 Days of Summer. With one of the best reviewed movies of the year, it’s no surprise that Webb has been tapped to take on a new project in the same spirit. The film is Just Another Love Story, an American remake of the Danish thriller that was originally directed by Ole Bornedal in 2008.
For all of you who loved 500 Days of Summer and to encourage those of you who haven’t seen it to get out there and enjoy the film, here comes a lovely little companion piece to the movie. Marc Webb, the director of the film started his career by making music videos and after his first successful film he has decided to play around with his actors Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt, and make a music video for Deschanel’s song “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” by her band She & Him. Much like the Sid and Nancy skit by the trio, the video adds to the film, without spoiling it or having direct references to it. The video also confirms something that Deschanel told us, which is that Levitt really can do back flips.
Music video turned feature film director Marc Webb may jump from an indie romance to an epic musical with his next project. According to the Risky Biz Blog, after the staggering success of last year’s Mamma Mia, Universal wants to bring another stage classic back to the big screen. The rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar is their project of choice, and Webb’s name has been brought up as a director of interest.
Marc Webb’s (read interview) new romantic-offbeat-original-dra-medy, 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Godron-Levitt (read interview) finally hit theaters July 17th. Man, woman, whatever you may be, this is a romantic film for everyone. It is the most honest and yet beautifully over the top film that I have seen all year and should absolutely not be missed.
Marc Webb’s first feature 500 Days of Summeris that soon to be buzzed about film that you’ll be proud to say “oh yeah, I’ve seen that one.” Well now you can one up everyone else by not only saying you saw it first, but that you know how Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt got cast, how long it took them to shoot the film, how he kept the troublesome script in order, and a whole lot more.
We were lucky enough to talk to Webb over the phone (after having many phone troubles) about his upcoming, must see film. Webb is the the perfect mixture of both humble and confident, he was proud to promote his film, yet not too cawky and definitely not afraid of being honest.
Check out interview with him below (if you do, you’ll find out how I convinced him to let me film him eating a bug).
Four lucky winners will get one 500 Days of Summer poster along with the film’s soundtrack album. The film features music from artists’ such as Regina Spektor, The Smiths, and Black Lips.
