New '500 Days of Summer' Trailer Warms Me Up

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel absolutely shine in the new trailer for the much buzzed Sundance hit 500 Days of Summer. The trailer further confirms my suspicions that this will be the next Garden State as far as an indie film getting some mainstream love. If Gordon-Levitt and Deschanel stay on top of their game, they will both be a couple of the best actors of our generation.

If you're unfamilar with 500 Days of Summer we ran the first trailer for it back in January right here and included it on our list of Sundance movies to look forward to. Here's the official plot synopsis just to refresh your memory: 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."

The film is said to have a hellacious soundtrack (just like Garden State) and does contain some musical-type numbers (rightly so considering much of the experience listed under director Marc Webb's short filmography on IMDB is in music videos). I'm really looking forward to seeing this when it sees wider release this summer, on July 17. Hopefully Marc Webb won't go the way of Zach Braff and direct one awesome feature (Garden State) and then simply go back to playing his character on Scrubs. Of course that should be easy since Marc Webb has never been on or even involved with Scrubs. But still...don't screw this up Webb! What do you guys think of the trailer?

I am in love with Zooey. I think I might just have to see that.
