I find Natalie Portman to be infectiously appealing star. When she gets behind a role, she nails it. However when she isn’t excited about something, well not so much (coughstarwarscough) Well Natalie is behind this new project so I look forward to seeing what she does with it.
Natalie Portman is set to star with Scott Cohen and Charlie Tahan in Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, a Don Roos-directed adaptation of an Ayelet Waldman novel.
The story revolves around a young woman who finds the key to recovering her marriage in her relationship with her precocious stepson.
I always felt that Portman excells in the family drama sort of story. Many of my favourite films with her seem to fit into that genre.
Portman is also filling the big producers chair in this as well as this film will fall under her banner of Handsomecharlie films.
