Teaser trailer for 2 Days in New York! There is another one here. She’s even singing the music in this. Delpy overload.

I AM READY FOR THIS. Now, film, actually come to New York so I can watch you.

Julie Delpy Talks "2 Days in New York", Possibility of Acting Retirement →

urbanimperfectionist:

…Uhh, she can’t retire until we get a (great) third film in the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset franchise. Though had been reported that this was going to happen, Delpy revealed that it is far from certain. Not the happiest news in the world. Let’s at least hope for the theatrical release of 2 Days in New York, her Sundance feature follow-up to 2 Days in Paris. 

No Julie, nooooo!~ I never put much weight into these sorts of announcements, anyway.

If she did retire from acting, I’m sure she’d make an exception for another Before film, considering how involved she is creatively in those. I plan on seeing 2 Days in New York in NYC (so Gretchen and I can bug out together, of course), but a wide release would be great news.

"So is Ethan Hawke dead?"

“Here, I wanted Marion to be this person that keeps on trying to make it work with different men. The first person I thought of when I started writing was Chris … I know it sounds weird, but when I would I write I would say [the words] as him — I would channel my inner Chris Rock.”

Rock loved the script, but he had one concern. “I read it, and I immediately thought, ‘So is Ethan Hawke dead? What’s going on?’ And after I talked to Ethan and realized he wasn’t dead, I agreed to do the movie.”

JULIE DELPY I LOVE YOU FOREVER. This is hysterical.

2 Days In New York

In the follow-up to Julie Delpy’s 2 Days in Paris, 2 Days in New York adds Chris Rock to the cast as the straight man hipster American boyfriend. Fans of Richard Linklaters’ Before Sunrise and Before Sunset should take interest here as the films share many common attributes.

Synopsis: Marion and Mingus live cozily—perhaps too cozily—with their cat and two young children from previous relationships. However, when Marion’s jolly father (played by director Delpy’s real-life dad), her oversexed sister, and her sister’s outrageous boyfriend unceremoniously descend upon them for a visit, it initiates two unforgettable days that will test Marion and Mingus’s relationship. With their unwitting racism and sexual frankness, the French triumvirate hilariously has no boundaries or filters … and no person is left unscathed in its wake.

CAN’T WAIT.

Julie Delpy Will Make Another ‘Before’ Film →

quidquid:

“I’d done those movies with Richard [Linklater] and Ethan [Hawke],” she said, referring to Before Sunrise and Sunset, “and we’re probably going to do a third one—where it’s the same relationship with two people, so, I wanted my character [in Two Days in New York] to have a new boyfriend.”

So it is subtle…BUT STILL I’LL TAKE IT.

I’LL STILL TAKE IT TOO. The prospect of a third Before film is absurdly tantalizing. Like, I find it a risky prospect—Before Sunset is my definition of a perfect film—but still, very intriguing, and I trust that Delpy, Hawke, and Linklater would not disappoint. How would it work? What will the set-up be? How will they try to top the first two movies, or create a different spin on them? So many questions!

Also, ohmygod, look at this bullshit:

Delpy, who’s directed five films, says that was always her dream, not acting. “At fourteen, I went to meet Jean-Luc Godard. I wanted to work for him as an assistant or work on his films. And he was like, ‘Well, you look kind of okay.’ And I could play clarinet. So, he said, ‘Why don’t you play clarinet in my film and become an actress?’”  She calls what followed a “shit battle”; it took her twenty years to direct a film. “ You have no fucking idea what a fucking nightmare it was…I gave a screenplay to a writer that I was a big fan of and I worked with, Sam Shepard, who said to me the thing I had written was shit.  And when I wrote Before Sunset, my agent at the time fired me, saying that I was shit, writing a shit sequel, to a shit movie and that I should be auditioning as a sexy Latina in Rush Hour Three or Four.”

WHAT. Fuck that!

Finally! Some solid news about this!

“The follow-up to Delpy’s charming and underrated film will find her character, Marion, relocated to New York with a new lover Mingus (Rock) and a child; sorry folks, no Adam Goldberg this time around. Things will get a bit hairy as the clash of cultural backgrounds is brought to the fore when her family and ex-boyfriend come to visit. This stress will be compounded by an upcoming photo exhibit as well. The most enjoyable scenes from “2 Days In Paris” were centered on the raucous yet complicated nature of family life and so we more then welcome another take at similar thematic territory.”

I’m excited about this! It seems…weird, what with the kid and Chris Rock, but I trust Delpy absolutely on these things.

Hah, of course you may. ;D And yeah, I’m really excited about 2 Days in New York! They’re filming it this fall, maybe you’ll see them. The only thing that makes me nervous is that Delpy cast Chris Rock in an as-yet-unspecified role. I’m sort of hoping he’s not her new love interest, but either way, I am pumped. It’s weird how I’ve become a huge fan of hers over the last couple of months.
