New York Minute
New York Minute, the new action comedy starring Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, follows 17-year-old sisters Jane and Roxanne Ryan on a wild romp through the streets, subways and sewers of Manhattan during one unforgettable day. Uptight overachiever Jane (Ashley Olsen), up for a scholarship at Oxford University, has a major speech to give while laid-back rock rebel Roxy (Mary-Kate Olsen) hopes to get backstage at a video shoot and slip her demo tape to the band. But Jane's and Roxy's plans go wildly awry and the two must join together when a mix-up involving Jane's all-important day planner lands them in the middle of a black market music piracy scheme. Sidetracked, sideswiped and chased from Chinatown to Times Square to Harlem by everyone from assassins to politicians to a whacked-out truancy officer (Eugene Levy), the sisters also find unexpected romance in the form of a Senator's bad-boy son (Gilmore Girls' Jared Padalecki) and a cute bike messenger (Riley Smith). Jane and Roxy seem to have everything going against them…but in the "concrete jungle," anything can change in a New York Minute! Joining the New York Minute cast are Andy Richter (Big Trouble) as a limousine driver with an agenda; Darrell Hammond (Saturday Night Live) as a business executive with bad luck; Andrea Martin (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) as Senator Anne Baxter-Lipton; Mary Bond Davis (Broadway's Hairspray) as a beautician with a heart of gold and a bag of tricks; radio personality Dr. Drew (Loveline) in his feature film debut as Roxy and Jane's dad; and Jack Osbourne (The Osbournes), also in his feature film debut as a wayward band manager. A Dualstar Productions/Di Novi Pictures production for Warner Bros. Pictures, New York Minute is directed by Dennie Gordon (What A Girl Wants) and produced by Denise Di Novi, Robert Thorne, Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. Alison Greenspan is the film's executive producer, with Christine Sacani and Jill Zimmerman as co-producers. The story is by Emily Fox, and the screenplay is by Emily Fox and Adam Cooper & William Collage. New York Minute will be released worldwide Spring/Summer 2004 by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
