Take a look at the trailer:
I just can't get over the list of actors and directors in the movie. Take a look at the list at Paris, Je T'aime's official website or at IMDb: directors include Gus Van Sant, Wes Craven, Walter Salles, the Cohen brothers, Alfonso Cuarón; actors include some of my favorites: Natalie Portman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Elijah Wood, Juliette Binoche, Miranda Richardson, Gena Rowlands. Oh my.
It seems the movie was released in France in June 2006, and hits theaters in NYC today (May 4th) and L.A. on May 18th -- I can't understand why it is taking so long for the movie to get a wider release. I can't wait! I know the trailer is more cryptic than anything, but it's awesome: We basically have 18 love stories, all in Paris. I have very high expectations for this one.
And it looks like we will have one gay story, involving Gaspard Ulliel (check out news and photos at Oh La La) and Elias McConnell in the vignette Le Marais. Here's a description of the vignette with the gay premise:
"Le Marais (written and directed by Gus Van Sant - USA)
On entering a printer’s shop, a young man, Gaspard Ulliel, is immediately drawn to the printer’s apprentice, Eli (Elias McConnell). When Gaspard’s boss, Marianne Faithfull leaves the room, Gaspard tells Eli that he has a strange intuition that Eli will be someone important to him. Eli doesn’t respond to Gaspard’s outpouring, and it’s only later that he realizes something extraordinary has just happened."
I wonder the same thing if gaspard is gay, in the behind the scenes of the making of my segment he compliments me and what he says in the text are things he thought of me in the first place
