Synopses & Reviews
The official book tie-in to the acclaimed romantic comedy from Fox Searchlight Pictures, an audience hit at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt
(3rd Rock from the Sun, 10 Things I Hate About You) and Zooey Deschanel (
Yes Man, The Happening, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy).
"This is a story of boy meets girl," begins the wry, probing narrator of (500) Days of Summer, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true-to-life, and unique dissection of the unruly and unpredictable year and a half of one young man's no-holds-barred love affair.
In addition to the complete screenplay, the Newmarket Shooting Script® book includes an exclusive introduction by Director Marc Webb, exclusive forewords by Screenwriters Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber, an 8-page color section, production notes, and the complete cast and crew credits.

"
(500) Days of Summer is magic. Cheers to director Marc Webb, the hilarious and heartfelt script by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber and the two stars, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who offer an advanced class in screen chemistry. This sweet, sizzling movie shows how love hurts and heals. Itll own you."—Peter Travers,
