They call it “The Festival of Festivals,” the nicest possible way of saying that most of the big films to play at the London Film Festival have already premiered elsewhere. They call it a People’s Film Festival, because anybody can buy tickets, fairly easily if not exactly cheaply.

This morning, the full lineup for this year’s fortnight of films in London’s not-exactly-glittering West End were announced and, yes, many of them were familiar from the rosters of other fests around the world but, honestly, that goes beyond being a First World problem to being more of an Ivory Tower Niggle.

50/50 – Thursday October 13th

Seth’s latest film 50/50 will be screening at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival this year. An overviews of the Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt film 50/50 have been posted below. The 10-day festival runs from September 8th until September 18th. Hopefully Seth will make his way over to the festival so we’ll have images to share!

Summit Entertainment has released a new restricted clip from the upcoming drama/comedy that follows the story of best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis. 50/50 hits theaters September 30, 2011.

Below is a conversation between Will Reiser (writer of 50/50), Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, talking about both Reiser’s true-life cancer experience, as well as Gordon-Levitt’s new project. After the clip, check out a statement sent over by Gordon-Levitt himself, and contribute your own stories by going to www.hitrecord.org.

Tragedy / Comedy
Six years ago, Will got cancer in his back. Obviously, that sucked. But he and his best friend, Seth, coped with the tragic situation by finding the humor in it. After he got better, Will decided to write a comedy inspired by what happened, called 50/50. Seth produced the movie and I played the character inspired by Will.

I know that even in the darkest times of my life, there have been those unexpected moments, circumstances and stories that just make me laugh my ass off. I want to start a collaboration for those kinds of stories.

Contribute your tragic/comic story here. Tell us about something terribly unfortunate in your life, but do it with a sense of humor. You could write your story in text, you could RECord yourself telling the story into your camera or microphone, draw a picture, write a song, whatever’s comfortable.

Then I’ll direct our creative collective of RECorders to adapt some of those stories into short films. You know how we do it. Maybe they’ll end up animations. Maybe they’ll become scripts for actors to peform. Maybe they’ll become musical numbers. We’ll see.
Laughing and crying come from the same place.

You know where.
thanks again…
<3 Joe
