International Trailer For 500 Days of Summer

500 days of summer

Orange UK has released an international trailer for 500 Days of Summer, which presents the movie as a much more traditional romantic comedy about a couple falling in love. And I’m not saying that the film isn’t a love story, it is, but if anything it isn’t traditional.

The movie is told in flashbacks and flash forwards, the film begins with Summer and Tom’s break up, and the story is also largely about Tom trying to figure out what went wrong, trying to reestablish a connection, trying to get over the break-up…etc. And that story seems to be completely absent from this new trailer. That said, its not a bad trailer, its just a bit misleading. Fox Searchlight is releasing the film in the US starting on July 17th, I highly recommend it! Watch the trailer after the jump.

  • I saw this at the SF Intl Film Fest last month, I might be horribly biased, what with the Zooey shrine I'm about to set up and all, but I'd highly recommend catching this when it's out.

    That being said, I agree with Peter that this trailer is quite disingenuous in setting up the premise, but I'd also say it's unfair in giving up way too much of the movie's charm sequences upfront.
  • terrible trailer, but I'm excited for the film.
  • ohhh boy, I'm excited for the film.
  • When is the UK release? I'm really looking forward to this.
    On the subject of UK releases, when is Brothers Bloom coming out over here?

    Considering everything ive heard about this movie, the trailer has "Up" levels of bait and Switch marketing. But,I know it needs it for the mainstream to jump on, so i don't blame em. Still totally excited to see this movie.

    I saw an earlier screening of this film and it was wonderful. Well edited, the acting was top-notch, and the shoots worked well to blend this anti-love film. It is more about a search to the meaning of love than a contemporary love film, which is what I loved about it. A must see.
