500 Days of Summer Without the Script

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Independent, Romance, Comedy, Celeb News, Filmmaking, New Releases, Scripts, Videos

The cute overload that is 500 Days of Summer continues, as stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel performed an impromptu, short version of how the film would be without a script.

Set to present an award to the film’s screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel ditched the teleprompter and offered a silent skit of the elevator/Smiths scene. Then the pair realized that they wouldn’t have had stage directions without a script and redid the scene appropriately (albeit, quite boring and proving a good point).

It’s nice to see actors who appreciate those other people working on a film.

First Look: DiCaprio in Nolan’s Inception Thriller

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Mystery, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases


While little has been spoken about Christopher Nolan‘s follow-up to The Dark Knight, the trailer makes it clear that he appears to have secured another summer blockbuster with Inception.

Set to hit theaters July 16, 2010, the sci-fi film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, and Michael Caine.

Let’s hope for the sake of all our sanity that the film doesn’t meet the same fate as Leo’s other upcoming thriller.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Independent, Celebrity Gossip

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Heath Ledger

For today’s installment, we have Joseph Gordon-Levitt (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) on the left and the late Heath Ledger (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) on the right.

Aside from the fact that the two actors experienced extreme transformations to portray two of pop culture’s most notorious villains, Cobra Commander and the Joker, the pair could pass off as brothers when the makeup comes off!

Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt Just Want to Dance

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fox Searchlight, Music, Romance, New Releases


(500) Days of Summer stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt know that they’re just about the cutest on-screen couple ever. Banking on that infectious charm, the pair star in the She & Him music video for “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?”

Directed by music video veteran (and director of (500) Days) Marc Webb, Gordon-Levitt plays a bank robber who decides to dance with the teller (Deschanel) before running off with the money. Once again, it seems as if the trio can’t stop producing quality work together!
