I LOVE YOU JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT
Category: Trailers
I am sorry to hit you with three trailers in the one day but I haven't posted too many of them lately. I am sooooooooooo busy at work and am up for a promotion so have been concentrating solely on work. I am also on a health kick so every morning I am getting up early and walking 6kms. However the last two days it has been pissing down with rain and I am too much of a wuss to do my walking in the rain. The downside of all of this is I am only 9 films behind in reviews and am off to more films this week. I will try and get a few of them up tonight 
Inspired by personal experiences, 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis. Rogen also serves as producer, along with Evan Goldberg and Ben Karlin. Jonathan Levine directs from a script by Will Reiser. "We worked with Will on Da Ali G show, and it was shortly after that we learned he was sick." Rogen recalls. "As shocking, sad, confusing and generally screwed up as it was; we couldn't ignore that because we were so ill-equipped to deal with the situation, funny things kept happening. Will got better, and when he did, we thought the best way to pull something good out of the situation was to get him to write a screenplay. Ideally we wanted to make a film that would be as funny, sad, and hopefully as honest as the experience we went through. As soon as the script was completed, it quickly became a passion project for all of us. It helped us come to terms with Will's struggle as well as our own experiences." 50/50 is the story of a guy's transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health. 50/50 draws its emotional core from Will Reiser's own experience with cancer and reminds us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers.
The film is a true story and starring one of my favourite actors of all time so while the subject matter might not be the most uplifting I am confident in the fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is starring - he does no wrong in my opinion. This will hit the screens in September this year, 2011.
Have a great day peeps!
