File this one under rumour of the day. But it’s an interesting enough one to talk about here. Word is that Natalie Portman could be landing a spot in the new (if it EVER actually gets made) Indiana Jones flick, possibly as Indy’s daughter. JoBlo offers up this little tid bit:
…there’s already talking about the actress working with George Lucas again on another multi-million dollar franchise entry, Indiana Jones. Even before filming had wrapped on The Phantom Menace, Portman let the director know that she’d love a part in the next Indiana Jones movie back, and the word is, he might have found a slot for her in the anticipated sequel.
There are a couple of obvious elements here that make this plausible. From all account Portman has enjoyed working with Lucas and Lucas with Portman. Personally I’d like to work with Portman too. Call me. I think this would be a nice fit… but at the pace the Indy project is moving at Portman will have to end up playing Indy’s GRANDdaughter.
