New York, I Love You # 1: It may be short, but we cant wait to see it!

what we got so far, despite filming pictures of Natalie Portman and some other actors filming their short clip!

This Talent Loves New York
Source: Variety April 10, 2008

Variety says an eclectic group of actors and directors are fanning out across New York's five boroughs to shoot New York, I Love You.

Orlando Bloom, Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Hayden Christensen and Ethan Hawke are among those who have boarded the omnibus film, a mixture of contemplative romance and unabashed civic boosterism. The anthology of shorts follows the format of Paris, je t'aime.

Scarlett Johansson, like fellow actor Natalie Portman, is making her directing debut on the project. Portman also stars in a separate short.

Directors include Mira Nair, Brett Ratner and Alan Hughes, plus international helmers such as Fatih Akin, Andrey Zvyagintsev and Wen Jiang.

Other confirmed actors include Carlos Acosta, Kevin Bacon, Justin Bartha, Rachel Bilson, James Caan, Bradley Cooper, Chris Cooper, Drea de Matteo, Irrfan Khan, Cloris Leachman, Blake Lively, Emilie Ohana, Maggie Q, Shu Qi, Eli Wallach, Saul Williams, Robin Wright-Penn, Anton Yelchin and Ugur Yucel.

LaBeouf, Christie, Hurt to Star in Minghella's Former Segment of "New York"
Not long after Anthony Minghella's passing, Shekhar Kapur announced that he would be taking over the directorial duties for Minghella's segment in the anthology film "New York, I Love You," the follow up to last year's "Paris, je t'aime." Now, the primary cast has been announced for the short film that is said by some to be similar in theme to Minghella's own "Truly, Madly, Deeply." Julie Christie will play "a woman who checks into a hotel that is in between worlds. There, she meets a young man and the two discover not only a mysterious connection but develop an understanding as to their situation." Shia LaBeouf will play the young man, and somehow his "Indiana Jones 4" co-star John Hurt will be there, too.

This anthology is acquiring quite a cast. Here's a current count courtesy of THR:

Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Chris Cooper, Anton Yelchin, Drea de Matteo, Ethan Hawke, Kevin Bacon, Carlos Acosta, Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper, Irfan Khan, Cloris Leachman, Blake Lively, Emilie Ohana, Natalie Portman, Maggie Q, Shu Qi, Olivia Thirlby, Eli Wallach, Saul Williams, Robin Wright Penn, and Ugur Yucel.

Certainly a qualified group, even split up into separate shorts. The directors on the other hand are a little less impressive:

Fatih Akin, Yvan Attal, Shunji Iwai, Wen Jiang, Joshua Marston, Mira Nair, Natalie Portman, Andrei Zvyagintsev, Randall Balsmeyer, Shekhar Kapur, Allen Hughes, Brett Ratner, and Scarlett Johansson.

I'll confess that I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to contemporary international cinema, but even putting aside the fact that I've never heard of six of these people, there isn't anyone in this group that really stands out as a great filmmaker (Mira Nair comes closest, of the ones I know). Compare this list to the group that directed "Paris je t'aime" (Cuaron, Van Sant, Coen, Doyle, Craven, Assayas, Tykver, Payne, Salles) and there's just no contest as to which city got the better deal.

It will be interesting though to see which of the Boleyn girls has a better directorial debut. My instinct is to put money on Portman, but Harvard smarts don't guarantee directing prowess, and maybe Johansson will have picked up a few of Woody Allen's better instincts.

I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE. There's been alot of candids, I think when Blake starts shooting well be getting candids too. There's a lot of exterior shots being filmed. It looks so promising and there's a lot of hype around it.

Wish we had more info on her character, though.

She was seen on the Pippa set but I don't think she's already filming. But I guess she will soon.

I think that as soon as she's done with GG she'll start film NY, I love you because it shouldn't last forever.
Some of the cast of the project already started to film so. I might be wrong though.

The film's only going to be 5 minutes long at most. She doesn't have that much to film at all. It's take less thena week methinks. Right now RB and HD are filming. I think she'll start soon.

yeah, I'd even say it doesnt take more than 2 days. Adam Brody once filmed his scenes for The Ten in one day. he hadnt had a big role either, but a little longer than 5 minutes.
so I'm guessing she'll do it after GG is finished, which is soon, I think.

I think there's about 2 weeks of GG filming at most. She can have it done on a weekend too, though.

It's a bunch of separate little stories amalgamated into one film, right?
