I knew that at some point we’d posted a trailer for the anthology film New York, I Love You what I didn’t realize was that that trailer was posted a year ago.
The film premiered at TIFF last year and Kurt foresaw the film would open early in 2009 but for some reason, reviews perhaps?, it was shelved and forgotten until today when a sexy discombobulated new trailer appeared. With acting and directing contributions from a long list of talented folk (Park Chan-Wook, The Hughes Brothers, Faith Akin, Mira Nair, Yvan Attal, Shunji Iwai, Wen Jiang, Joshua Marston, Andrei Zvyanginstev, Brett Ratner, Shia LeBeouf, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Anton Yelchin, Orlando Bloom, Christina Ricci, Chris Cooper, Kevin Bacon, Robin Wright Penn, Maggie Q, Ethan Hawke, John Hurt, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Olivia Thirlby) this is bound to have a little something for everyone.
The trailer is not exactly eye popping but it certainly looks nice and I have love for much of the talent involved so I’m game. I still haven’t seen Paris, je t’aime but I may have to check it out before being sucked into this one.
New York, I Love You is scheduled for limited release on October 16th.
Now, who’s working on a Vancouver, I Love You?
Trailer is tucked under the seat!
This will have to be a major re-working of the cut I saw at TIFF last year. It was pretty awful. Actually, I had been thinking I might want to see it again to see what they changed and whether I was too hard on it – but the trailer reminded me of some of the stories and, at least for the moment, has removed that desire.
It also ruins the endings of a couple of stories – not obviously, but if you know the trailer going in you’ll see where a few of the stories are going.
Will they be showing it in Canada? I can’t find any info at all. Seeing Paris, Je T’aime, I really want to see this.
