It's "totally absurd and insane and goofy," Julie Delpy said of "World Wars and Other Fun Stuff to Watch on the Evening News." It's a script that people "would kill to see," she insisted, "outrageous and crazy." It's a political satire that she places as a cross between "Dr. Strangelove" and "Monty Python."
And it may never get to get made.
"I'm facing the [the] problem [of finding] financiers. They're terrified of serious political subject matter dealt with in a crazy way," she asserted. "They think you'll lose this demographic and that demographic, but it's all bull. I wish people were more ballsy. Financiers are chickens." Read More...
In the annals of film coulda-beens, Julie Delpy's near-casting in "The Da Vinci Code" ain't exactly Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones, but, even though the movie went on to gross nearly $800 million worldwide, the "2 Days in Paris" actress isn't losing sleep over the fact that she got snubbed for the role which eventually went to Audrey Tautou. 
The film "2 Days in Paris" is NOT "Before Sunset." Yes, Julie Delpy stars (alongside Adam Goldberg this time) and yes, she co-wrote the new film as she did the 2004 sequel to "Before Sunrise," but this is a comedy first and foremost, and a biting one at that. The always outspoken Delpy spoke with me the other day about her new film and what she thinks the future holds for her and Ethan Hawke's characters in that other relationship movie of hers.

"Before Sunset" is one of my favorite movies; apparently this makes it my fault that they haven't made a sequel, joked star Ethan Hawke. "If the film had been totally ignored we probably already would have made a third one," Hawke revealed to MTV News. "[Director] Rick [Linklater] said to me the other day, 'It's that whole thing of people coming up to you at dinner parties and saying [they] know what happened to [Jesse and Celine]. You don't want to deal with it.'"
