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.
