Because Americans hate subtitles, Paris, je t’aime has been reworked as New York, I Love You. Instead of the 20 arrondissements of the city of love (18 filmed), NYILY will dig into the five boroughs of the city o' big apple (divvied up 12 ways).
Instead of the Coen Bros., Walter Salles and Tom Tykwer, the new film will include shorts by Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Brett Ratner. Hmm.
NYILY directors:
Yvan Attal (My Wife Is an Actress), Allen Hughes (Dead Presidents), Shunji Iwai (All About Lily Chou-Chou), Wen Jiang (In the Heat of the Sun), Scarlett Johansson (debut), Joshua Marston (Maria Full of Grace), Mira Nair (The Namesake), Natalie Portman (debut), Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand), Andrei Zvyagintsev (The Return), Fatih Akin (The Edge of Heaven) and Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth: The Golden Age)
