50/50 Trailer
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.
50/50 was released September 30th, 2011 and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, Serge Houde, Andrew Airlie, Matt Frewer. The film is directed by Jonathan Levine.

I believe I read the screenplay for this a few years ago. It had a different title (I'm With Cancer, maybe). I remember liking it. Trailer looks good.

I like Levitt's career. It's a great example of paying your dues and learning at the same time. He's done so many little indies and gotten better over time. I think he's earned his spot in big pictures like Inception and Dark Knight. I don't like it when "pretty people" like Megan Fox etc...get big blockbusters with no acting experience. 500 days of Summer=great movie.

I'm eager to see this one. JGL is good with this kind of material. Low key but funny. If Rogan can refrain from that annoying-goober laugh it'll be good.

I cant see Rogen as a co-star here, hes a leading man, type cast purely down to the basis of hes good as a simple minded bufffoon
