Shia LaBeouf, Scarlett Johansson and Orlando Bloom Join 'New York' Project

Variety reports that Orlando Bloom, Shia LaBeouf, Julie Christie and John Hurt will star in the late writer Anthony Minghella's segment of the movie, "New York, I Love You."

The film is an anthology of 12 short films set in the city's five boroughs.

Minghella wrote and was planning to direct a vignette for the movie before he died last month. Shekhar Kapur has now stepped up and taken helm of the project.

Natalie Portman will make her writing and directing debut on the film, while Scarlett Johansson, her co-star in "The Other Boleyn Girl," will be involved in a separate segment.

The cast of the collection of short films includes Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Chris Cooper, Anton Yelchin, Drea de Matteo, Ethan Hawke and Kevin Bacon.
