Those patiently awaiting the second reunion for Linklater’s Jesse and Celine storyline may have a consolation prize waiting for them in 2011. After all, Julie Delpy is part of the writing team on the Before Sunset film, and now she’ll be picking up where the characters in 2 Days in Paris have left off: not France but New York City. Polaris Films Productions are producing the pic which would see Delpy lensing sometime near the end of the year. Here’s the synopsis being used for the upcoming European FIlm Market…
Scripted by Delpy, 2 Days in New York centres again on French woman Marion (Delpy), who has broken up with Jack and now lives in New York with their children. Her Parisian family come to visit her, but the cultural differences between her eccentric father and new American boyfriend will turn out to be explosive. Meanwhile, her sister has had the “good” idea of bringing an ex-boyfriend from Paris and there is the pressure of an upcoming photography exhibition.
Samuel Goldwyn Films might want to grab the sequel, as it brought in over 4 million in art-house B.O. Here is our interview with Delpy back in 2007, when she was doing press for 2 Days in Paris.
