"500 Days of Summer" scriptwriter Scott Neustadter admits the
film about a failed re lationship was written in vengeance after he
had his heart broken while studying at the London School of
Economics in 2002. Neus tadter, who with co-writer Michael H.
Weber took Best Screenplay at the Independent Spirit Awards,
refused to say if the name of the girl who became the inspiration
for Zooey De schanel's character really is Jenny Beckman. The
movie starts with the words, "Any resemblance to people living or
dead is purely coincidental. Es pecially you, Jenny Beckman.
Bitch." He told us, "All I know is that since it came out she has
de-friended me on Facebook."
