Trailer for the Sundance Hit '500 Days of Summer'

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your reaction to 500 Days of Summer is probably directly proportional to how much you like Zooey Deschanel. I happen to really like Zooey, so I'll probably enjoy the new Fox Searchlight movie that this trailer says is not a love story, but rather a story about love. I've read a couple reviews of the movie's Sundance premiere this weekend, and so far so good. Film School Rejects gives it an A+, which sets the bar pretty high, now doesn't it? In the film, Zooey plays Summer, a girl that doesn't believe true love exists. Oh. So she's the one. Not surprisingly, Joseph Gordon-Levitt falls in love with her. If the trailer has a music video look to it, that's because rookie film director Marc Webb made some music videos once upon a time. I really like the trailer. It's very direct, invokes the now uncommon use of a narrator, and has a bunch of images from the film thrown together as opposed to clips that lay out the story seven seconds at a time.
Trailer courtesy of Trailer Addict 500 Days of Summer will open in Fox Searchlight's usual summer proving grounds, late July. Look for it in theaters on the 24th of that month.

I agree sir, this trailer is probably more entertaining to those who love Zooey. Look, I saw "The Happening" for this girl, so I'm definitely seeing this.

I could've done without that weird announcer though, reminded me of Will Arnett in "Grindhouse", except serious.

"500 days...of Magic. 500 DAYS! of Intimacy! of Awkwardness!"
