Cities of Love



New York, I Love You, the second film in a series that began with Paris, je t’aime in 2006, just finished filming for a release date in the U.S. later this year. New York, I Love You is a collection of ten short films each about ten minutes long. Similar to the first film, the shorts presented together do not specifically relate but all tie into the theme of looking for love.

The cast includes Shia LaBeouf, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Blake Lively, Orlando Bloom, Andy Garcia, Christina Ricci, Robin Wright Penn, Ethan Hawke and Rachel Bilson. The film premiered at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival. The idea of each film is to bring top directors and actors together for an anthology.

The producers announced that they have two more films in the works for what they are referring to as the “Cities of Love franchise.” Shanghai, I Love You is the next film in the series and will debut at the 2010 World Expo. The fourth film will take place in Jerusalem with a release date in 2011 or 2012.
