Sorry Scarlett Johansson, but some producers are just not that into you.

The "He's Just Not That Into You" star made her directorial debut for a segment of the film "New York, I Love You" among other directors that include Brett Ratner, Natalie Portman and Mira Nair.

Johansson's section, shot in black and white and starring Kevin Bacon, however, has been cut from the film and will appear only on the DVD release of the film. While the New York Post reports that the segment was cut because it was "unwatchable," producer Emmanuel Benbihy says that it was a "compelling, albeit unconventional, narrative" that it didn't fit into the other short films because it didn't feature an interpersonal relationship.
