Zooey Deschanel wearing a new hat?

Published on January 11, 2008

If Scarlett Johannson can do it (look for Scarlett Sings Tom Waits on iTunes sometime in 08) – so can Zooey. Somewhere between her work on the undistributed Sundance road movie/Martin Hynes‘ debut film The Go-Getter (beach still from above is where that is taken from) and perhaps her current film playing an iconic songstress named Joplin in The Gospel According to Janis, Zooey Deschanel is cutting some tracks not for the eventual film soundtrack but for her own album.

According to Pitchforkmedia, “it seems the unlikely get-together may come full circle as soon as March. According to an interview Deschanel gave January 6 with KCRW (via The Playlist), she and M.Ward have christened their act She and Him, and together they’ll deliver a full-length titled Volume One at some point during the month of lions and lambs.”

Deschanel will next be seen in M Night’s The Happening and co-starring with Jim Carrey in Yes Man.
