Following the success of Paris, je t'aime, New York will get their own movie about love in the Big Apple. This time around, Scarlett Johansson will step behind the camera to direct one of the twelve short films appearing in the collection. Who else is set to contribute to New York, I Love You?

Paris je t'aime, release just under two years ago, was comprised of 18 short films from the likes of Alfonso Cuaron, Wes Craven, Gus Van Sant, and Walter Salles. I'd attempt to list who starred in the film, but it's ridiculous. A ton of good actors; I'll just say that.

So the news that we'll get an American version (set in New York) is pretty neat. (Apparently, this will become an ongoing series with different cities being the focus of the film collection.)

I'm indifferent to the news that Johansson will be directing, as I have no idea what her talents are behind the camera. But I'll give a hearty, "Huzzah!" to the news that another women will be directing. More women directors!
