Finally some solid casting information has come down the pike in terms of the ensemble directoral and acting piece New York, I Love You, which is serving as something as a follow-up to Paris, je t’aime in which several directors helm five minute shorts, which are then patchworked together into one film.
Until now not a lot had been known about the cast outside of Natalie Portman, Irfan Kahn and Kevin Bacon taking part. On top of that, much has been made about Scarlett Johansson and Portman making their directorial debuts.
Joining Portman and Johansson in the director’s chairs are Mira Nair, Brett Ratner, Alan Hughes, Fatih Akin, Andrey Zvyagintsev and Wen Jiang.
Who’s starring? Well, how about…
- Natalie Portman
- Kevin Bacon
- Irfan Khan
