It must be some kind of pomo viral thing that we don’t totally get (considering we’ve already seen the film and it seems to be random), but Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel have starred in a punk homage to Sid & Nancy for a “500 Days of Summer” related clip helmed by the film’s director, Marc Webb. Y0u can watch the un-embeddable clips over at MSN, where the duo play out scenes of a modern couple fighting in the style of the notorious punk pair (i.e., Sid wants Nancy to go see “Blades of Glory”). It’s marginally amusing and if you’re a fan of either of them, you’ll probably enjoy. Photos have also been posted on the Fox Searchlight blog.
Update: OK, no we get it. Cinemash is a series by Mean Magazine and Microsoft where celebrities “mash-up” their favorite scenes from movies. Makese sense.
In “500 Days of Summer” related news, we got our hands on, what is supposed to be the soundtrack’s coveted jewel — a new Smiths cover of “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want,” by She & Him — Zooey Deschanel’s band with M. Ward — that is not included in the film (at least not the version we saw earlier this year). Unfortunately, it’s not so hot, at all, it sounds thrown together.
That’s all we’ll say about that, but regardless, the soundtrack disc comes out July 14 and the film hits theaters July 17 via Fox Searchlight. Here’s the song and here’s them picks.
