500 days of Summer Poster contest*|*Reel Suave
The film is an anti romantic comedy directed by music video maker Marc Webb. He is really known for his work on Weezer, Snow Patrol and Green day. Days of Summer will star Suaver favorites Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt. It also stars Minka Kelly and Clark Gregg and will feature some offbeat music. According to MTV interview with Joseph the film will contain a lot of pop music.
“He’s a hopeless romantic, a lovesick young man who falls in love with [Zooey's character] Summer, and he gets dumped,” the actor said of the plot. “The thing is, the movie is all from the point of view of this guy, and this guy has watched way too many movies and listened to far too many pop songs. So his life becomes a pop song.”
The film will take its cues from movies like Annie Hall and High Fidelity. I hope it turns out to be a new modern classic and not some really sad mushy love story. The film will release in early summer next year.

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't.
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. 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.

Foxlight had a poll up a few weeks ago to pick a poster for the film. these were the 3 choices.
No idea which one got picked in the end.
Zooey and Joseph are two of my favourite people, so I'm really excited about this!
