Yes, her character did sort of bother me. I think they made downtown LA look the best it has EVER looked. it's still a little sketchy at night though![]()
What do you get if you cross Bonnie and Clyde with Fred and Ginger?
Zooey and Joe.
Their star-crossed romance in the comedy (500) Days of Summer has been making off with the box-office loot since its limited debut two weeks ago. To kick off Friday's nationwide release, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are giving away a separate short film, a music video about a bank heist in which the teller's heart is stolen along with the cash.
MAKING OF: Go behind the scenes
MORE ON THE MOVIE: Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt are a couple, just for 'Summer'
REVIEW: Bask in the warmth of delightful '(500) Days of Summer'
The video, directed by (500) Days filmmaker Marc Webb, premieres today exclusively at life.usatoday.com before moving to other TV and Internet outlets.
Gordon-Levitt plays a stoic man in a neat blue suit, turning to crime in a moment of absolute desperation. Deschanel is the gorgeous, wide-eyed teller, disarming the dangerous man (metaphorically speaking) in a playful, twirling, fox-trotting dance through the stuffy, starkly lit marble lobby. The other dour denizens go about their business unaware.
Providing the soundtrack: the song Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? by She & Him, Deschanel's retro-rock duo with musician M. Ward.
Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt say they hope to team up repeatedly and have aspirations of being a regular screen couple, like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers or Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn.
They're not a real couple, but they're good at faking it.
"I think it's great to have continuous collaborators," Deschanel says.
"It's a shortcut that makes it so much more fun. The job is much easier when you can go to set and be like, 'Ah, Joe!' "
"Absolutely. And there's trust," he says.
"And it's not like, 'Hey, nice to meet you — let's make out! LALAlalala," she says, closing her eyes and sticking out her tongue in a mock French kiss.
"As weird as it is filming a love story in front of a million people, at least you have your friend," she says.
