The multi-director romantic film Paris, Je T'aime will have a sequel with a change of scenery called New York, I Love You. The film is compiled of 12 shorts about love in different areas of NYC, each with its own director. Scarlett Johansson will direct a five minute segment, along with Anthony Minghella (Cold Mountain), Zach Braff (Garden State), Mira Nair (The Namesake), Park Chan-Wook (Old Boy) and potentially Woody Allen.
Drew Barrymore has already dipped her foot in producing with 8 films and a new game show ("Shoot to Kill"), and now she's directing her first film, Whip It!, starring Ellen Page (Juno). Although it's a coup for Barrymore, it seems to be the beginning of Page's typecasting. She'll be playing a scarstic teenager--adding another to the pile--in the adaptation of Shauna Cross's Derby Girl. In the story, Page plays a girl who refuses to be in a beauty pageant and decides to rebel by participating in a rollerskating derby. We'll see if it's got that Diablo magic.
