Though my crush on Zooey Deschanel might have faltered a bit thanks to Failure to Launch -- she was too creature of the night in the romantic comedy -- I am more than willing to give her and her big eyes another shot.
The actress is currently in negotiations with Fox Searchlight to star opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the romantic comedy 500 Days of Summer.
Zooey Deschanel for 500 Days of Summer
Before I get to the movie, I have to say that this film's title makes me think back to high school. Remember the first day of summer break and how you wish summer would never end? No work (usually), just doing chores, going to the beach and hanging with friends. Nowadays I'm just fine with summer's 90 or so days, considering that my house (in Newport Beach) doesn't have AC, which means I'm usually sweating bullets while putting up some after-hours updates. Since less people are typically sitting in front of computers during summer, I now even have a reason not to like the season.
But I digress...
In 500 Days of Summer, Levitt will play a guy who falls in love with a girl (Deschanel) who doesn't believe in love.
Music video director Marc Webb will make his feature debut off a script by Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter.
Deschanel can next be seen in M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening.
