October 29, 2009 - New York I Love You - It's not known how much longer "New York, I Love You" will be in theaters so if it's in a cinema near you try to catch it this weekend. You can visit the official site to find what cities and theaters will be showing it at New York, I Love You the Movie.com

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times: Sweet, short bites are among slices of Big Apple in "New York, I Love You"

Inevitably, the film is a jumble sale, but you can make some nice discoveries. It's not one of those films where all the separate characters come together at the end in a miraculous coincidence, although a few people do turn up, still as themselves, in one another's segments.

I suspect the title isn't intended as a simple declaration, but should be pronounced in a wondering tone, with a wry shake of the head, as in, "oh, you kid." The film assembles a collection of colorful characters, who find that eight minutes is quite enough to make an impression, as so many New Yorkers would agree.

The very first segment, directed by Jiang Wen and starring Hayden Christensen, Andy Garcia and Rachel Bilson, begins the film with a deft touch worthy of O. Henry, the master of New York short stories. Bilson and Christensen meet in a bar, where he finds a cell phone she left behind. He opens a seductive conversation, interrupted by Garcia as her boyfriend, who immediately reads the other guy. The two of them elevate their confrontation to a level of sly expertise, in a way that is rather remarkable. Read more....

October 29, 2009 - Quantum Quest Screening and Panel - The recent Imagine Science Film Festival on October 20, held a screening of Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey which may be a great kids movie but astronomy buffs and scientists alike are thrilled at the the animated film which includes stunning visuals from space by Cassini and other real life NASA missions.

While the film is cute, it's no Pixar triumph, and packs the plot into very few words and very little time. Still, it's characters got to me and I laughed at the jokes. Plus, it did a neat job of working some real science into a story of this kind (for example, the neutrino Reina can escape from the enemy because none of the fundamental forces affect her much). It did boast an unbelievable cast, which included two Captain Kirks (William Shatner and Chris Pine) and two Darth Vaders (James Earl Jones and Hayden Christensen). It also included Jason Alexander, Sandra Oh, Abigail Breslin, Amanda Peet, Mark Hamill, Samuel L. Jackson, and others. Oh yeah, and Neil Armstrong. Read more...

Quantum Quest is planned for wide release in February 2010.

Emmanuel Benbihy announced on his Cities of Love Twitter that New York, I Love You' will be released Friday in 7 more U.S. cities; Austin, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis, Portland and St. Louis. Most critics agree that even if you don't like every short, the movie as a whole is worth the price of a ticket. If you're lucky enough to be near a theater showing NYILY make a date this weekend to go and see the movie.

Hayden plays Ben a street smart pickpocket who falls for a beautiful girl played by Rachel Bilson and maybe meets his match when her boyfriend played by Andy Garcia shows up.

SYNOPSIS: TAKERS, directed by John Luessenhop, revolves around a notorious group of criminals (Idris Elba, Paul Walker, T.I., Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Michael Ealy) who continue to baffle police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. They are in and out like clockwork, leaving no evidence behind and laying low in between heists.

October 20, 2009 - Vanishing on 7th Street - Some of cast have been tweeting and posting bits of news to facebook on the filming of Hayden Christensen's new movie "Vanishing on Seventh Street". Young cast member Taylor Groothuis has met Hayden and is about to begin shooting her scenes. Director Brad Anderson has taken over Chanel 7 News for a few days and the high tech television station has been transformed into an eerie ghost station because everyone has disappeared...except Hayden. He's left behind trying to figure out where everyone has gone.

From Chanel 7 News WXYZ: BROADCAST HOUSE (WXYZ) - We have your front row seat to a big movie shoot right here at Channel 7. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at Vanishing on 7th Street, starring Hayden Christensen and WXYZ-TV!

Good morning, Hollywood! This is Action News like you've never seen it. At 4:30 a.m. Sunday, a crew of 75 took over Broadcast House with trucks, high-tech cameras, cables, lights, fog machines, and one famous face.

The star of the movie is Hayden Christensen, best known for his role as Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars movies. Now he's a reporter in the movie Vanishing on 7th Street. The film is being shot in Detroit, and all the newsroom scenes are at Channel 7.

"It's a bit of a dark paranoid thriller," said Brad Anderson, the movie's director. "One night all the lights go out and there's a big blackout in a big American city, and when the lights come on moments later 99 percent of the people have simply vanished."


October 20, 2009 - New York, I Love You - The reviews are in and mixed but New York, I Love You will be in theaters for awhile. Ben Lyons on The Daily 10 recommends it saying, "It's a great date movie". The clips showing up on the net with Hayden, Rachel and Andy have a bit of comedy and a bit of dramedy and makes me want to see it all the more. The film's score sets a comical mood as Hayden's character spots a beautiful girl and follows her into a Tribeca bar.

You can find another clip here which I'm sure will also be on YouTube soon enough: New York Love Blog

I've added another NYILY photo album called "In the Scene". I'll be adding more soon.

October 14, 2009 - Hayden's Love Interest - Only in the movie of course.More news about filming comes to us today from Detroit's Channel 7 Action News as they reveal some cast details and provide some video from the set of 'Vanishing on 7th Street'. WXYZ in Detroit will provide a number of cameos in 'Vanishing on Seventh Street' including real life reporter Erin Nicole who will be Hayden's love interest in the story in which a news crew covers strange disappearances in and around the city. A number of WXYZ news crew were there for news team photos with Hayden who plays Luke, a field reporter. What I want to know is, how long will Hayden stay neat and tidy in that suit before the horror/suspense begins. Enjoy the video and slideshow below from WXYZ. More about the story at Channel 7 WXYZ and the main story here.

October 14, 2009 - More Vanishing on Seventh Street - Dave LewAllen also posted to Facebook a little behind the scenes about script rewrites. I've read that Brad Anderson is a director who is always pushing the story direction and character development. Sounds like he is the kind of director Hayden or any actor would enjoy working with. Dave's Facebook was down yesterday so this post is actually from Tuesday.

Dave LewAllen's Facebook - OK, so now I'm really nervous... My scene for the movie, "Vanishing On Seventh Street" is being filmed tomorrow night at Channel 7--and today an almost entirely new script page was emailed over to me. It's much more involved than ...the original script. Yikes! It's been cram city tonight.


October 14, 2009 - Hayden On Location - Hayden was unable to be in NYC for the NYILY premiere. He had his mind on other things today. He was busy on the set of his new movie "Vanishing on Seventh Street". The Brad Anderson helmed film officially opened production on Monday in Detroit.

Thanks to anchor man Dave LewAllen from WXYZ in Detroit we have a couple of pictures from the set where you can see Hayden in the background. Today was Dave's big day as he made his movie debut having a role as reporter in the movie.

Hayden also plays reporter in the movie and according to Dave, Hayden's character's name is Luke. (I'm tempted to make a Star Wars comment here but I'll refrain. LOL) Good luck Hayden! Wishing you all the best on your new project.

Rachel was seen going to a Culver City Studio on Monday and that's where the show tapes so maybe Rachel has already filmed her appearance for tomorrow.

October 4, 2009 - 'New York, I Love You' Reviews - There aren't many advanced reviews yet for 'New York, I Love You' but of the few there is a common criticism. Though the individual stories are appealing enough, the movie as a whole lacks punch or a certain spark. Still, most think audiences will find something to like about NYILY.

Here's what one reviewer had to say about the movie and the segement 'Steal Your Heart' with Hayden, Rachel and Andy. Though he finds problems with the movie as a whole, the more he describes the segments the more curious I am to see the movie myself.

"Of the eleven short stories, the most interesting as well as the one that would most appeal to a broad audience, finds New Yorkers in a brief exchange, a battle of wits, a parable of the saying that there is honesty among thieves. As directed by Jiang Wen, a man (Hayden Christensen) chats up a woman (Rachel Bilson) in a bar, pretending that he found her pickpocketed cigarette lighter in the lavatory. When the woman's boyfriend (Andy Garcia) arrives, acting playfully with the thief as though not at all threatened by the latter's hitting on his mistress, there is a mutual exchange of skills that could set the tone for the rest of the evening's stories, but fails to do so. Most of what follows is filled with bland dialogue among badly-lit scenes but indoors and outside." Read all...

#2. Hayden Christensen: Organic Vegetable Gardener - Hayden Christensen, otherwise known as Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, and one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People, isn't just an actor: His modeling days date back to Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2005 ad campaign. When Hayden's not posing or acting, he's working away on his 200-acre farm...outside Toronto in his native Canada...growing organic produce. Christensen also ran a public service announcement for Do Something, a non profit youth organization that inspires young people to change the world. The organization has initiatives for the environment, disaster relief, poverty, and more. Source

October 2, 2009 - Takers...who's with me? - I'm sorry, but sign me up for this one. Takers will be released in February, and I dunno why, but this trailer has me sold for seeing it in theaters. Who knew Paul Walker and Hayden Christensen were two different people? Who knew the husband from Obsessed was British? Who knew Chris Brown could jump through a square-foot-sized window? (Besides the LAPD) Who knew T.I.'s first name was "Tip"? This movie looks like a thick slice of popcorn action, and pulpy fun. I have a feeling that after the cold onslaught of the Sundance Film Festival in late January, Takers will be exactly what the doctor orders... Source

October 1, 2009 - Vanishing on 7th Street Production - Pre-production continues on Hayden's next project with casting of extras and other speaking roles. IMDB has added one security guard role played by Arthur Cartwright. Emmy award winning reporter Dave LewAllen for Detroit's top-rated WXYZ-TV will have a small part in the film as well. WXYZ News

"What a thrill! I got word following an audition yesterday that I was being cast in a major motion picture to be shot this month in Detroit. The film is 'Vanishing on Seventh Street', directed by Brad Anderson, whose previous credits include 'Session 9'. 'The Machinist', and 'Transsiberian'. The story is set in a once-thriving city where shadowy forms cause residents to inexplicably disappear. Five survivors fight to stay alive while grappling with the meaning of existence.

Hayden Christensen has signed to star, along with John Leguizamo and Thandie Newton. I was selected to play (of all things) a TV news reporter. This is an exciting first for me; hopefully my few lines don't wind up on the cutting room floor!

My Action News colleague, Diana Lewis, gained a measure of fame with her role in the first 'Rocky', and Bill Bonds appeared in the 'Escape from the Planet of the Apes', from 1971. Shooting for 'Vanishing on Seventh Street' is set to begin mid-October in Detroit."

October 1, 2009 - Rachel Bilson on Craig Ferguson - Rachel is scheduled for a guest appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on October 7th. Just a guess, but I think New York, I Love You might be mentioned and hopefully they'll show a clip of the short with Hayden, Rachel and Andy.
