There are many reasons to love Julie Delpy. She’s gorgeous, talented (writer, director, actor, singer, smoker extraordinaire), and French (how can you not like that accent?). Now the Parisian artiste has given us one more reason to love her – 2 Days in Paris. No, it’s not a contest from Travelocity; it’s Deply’s new screenplay in preproduction. Deply, who received an Oscar nom in screenwriting for Before Sunset, will direct, edit, and star opposite Adam Goldberg.
The film follows Marion (Deply) and Jack (Goldberg), neurotic New Yorkers, who take a 2 day vacation to try and reconnect. The stressed-out couple make a misguided attempt to re-infuse their relationship with romance in Paris — Marion’s birthplace as well as the home of several of her ex-boyfriends and high-maintenance, non-English-speaking parents.
While the idea of Deply and Goldberg strolling through the streets of Paris with only 48 hours to re-kindle their spark sounds entertaining – I can’t help but think I’ve heard this concept before. Lots of dialogue, Deply in a romantic lead, Paris, time restrictions…? I guess for those who can’t wait for 2 Days to come to theaters can rent Before Sunrise/Before Sunset for a similar story.
