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.

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.

Last year the sales/production/distribution company hit a triple (in the prize category) with Dolan's I Killed My Mother, this year they move up a section into the UCR with Heartbeats (see pic above). Worth noting in the sales department is Antoine Blossier's debut horror film Prey (which I was hoping would find a spot in Cannes this year) and Julie Delpy is calling up her parents for a sequel to her rom com, 2 Days in Paris. with 2 Days in New York.
