"Zooey's absence from the dance number in 500 Days of Summer was a tragic injustice. Here we have a remedy." A great music video popped up online earlier this week that I just need to feature today. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel and is directed by Marc Webb - so basically it's a fun little 500 Days of Summer reunion. It's actually a music video for the song "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" by Zooey Deschanel's band She & Him. It was created as an additional promotional video by Fox Searchlight for the nationwide release of 500 Days of Summer this weekend. It's really a fun video, so check it out!

If you enjoyed this, I suggest reading the great making-of article on USA Today as well. Here's an excerpt: "What people see as the endearing dynamic between the two actors is actually the result of this quartet. 'We had a good sort of cabal going. They're not diva personalities. They enjoy their work and take it seriously, but still manage to have fun with it,' Webb says." It's so great to see these guys teaming up again so often after making one of my favorite movies of the year. We also featured that Cinemash video with Zooey and Joe previously. And here's one of my other favorite parts from that article that's a perfect way to end this.

"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."
