If you were looking forward to the Scarlett Johansson-directed segment in “New York, I Love You,” you’re about to be disappointed. The segment, starring Kevin Bacon, was unceremoniously cut from the movie after it was deemed “unwatchable.”

“It was really bad, so it was cut,” said a source.

The movie, which was originally made up of 12 segments, has an amazing cast of A-listers, including Orlando Bloom, Shia LaBeouf, Hayden Christensen, and Christina Ricci.

But producer EmmanueL Benbihy said Scarlett’s story didn’t fit in to the finished article, which also has contributions from Natalie Portman and Rush Hour director Brett Ratner.

“The story did not specifically involve an interpersonal relationship, and it was conceptualized to be filmed in black and white,” he explained. “Both of which were extreme departures from the other films.”

At least Scarlett still has that music career to fall back on.
