Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt post duet on New Year's track

Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have collaborated on a cover of Nancy Wilson's 'What Are You Doing New Year's Eve'.

The video, which features the 500 Days of Summer stars playing acoustic instruments and singing along, was posted on Deschanel's website Hello Giggles.



"I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since," Deschanel wrote in the post.

"When we did 500 Days of Summer eight years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and make-up trailer; we had loads of fun. I hope to do a thousand more movies with him because he's simply the best. But in the meantime, we made a little New Year's duet for all of you! The original by Nancy Wilson. ENJOY!"

Deschanel has been nominated for a 2012 Golden Globe Award for her role on Fox comedy New Girl. She has compared the honour to "cake and ice cream".

In October, Gordon-Levitt was rumoured to be in talks for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.
