Natalie Portman’s trailer and poster for her new movie ‘The Other Woman’ have just been released!
After entering the life of a married man called Jack (Scott Cohen), Portman’s Emilia finds happiness when she married him and gave birth to their daughter. But her life soon takes an unexpected turn when their newborn baby is dead.
Emilia struggles through her grief to connect with her new stepson William (Charlie Tahan), but is finding it hard to connect with this precocious child. Perhaps the most difficult obstacle of all for Emilia is trying to cope with the constant interferences of her husband’s angry, jealous ex-wife, Carolyn who is portrayed by Lisa Kudrow.
“The Other Woman” is a frank, funny, and heart-wrenching movie adaptation of bestselling author Ayelet Waldman’s novel about life, loss, and family titled “Love and Other Impossible Pursuits”. “The Opposite of Sex” and “Bounce” helmer Don Roos serves behind the lens for the upcoming drama comedy, which is slated to open in limited U.S. theaters on February 4, 2011.
The movie looks intense! Coincidentally, the trailer comes one day after Natalie announced her own pregnancy and engagement. Natalie is pregnant and engaged to choreographer Benjamin Millepied. In an exclusive statement to EW, Portman says “I have always kept my private life private but I will say that I am indescribably happy and feel very grateful to have this experience.” Congrats to the couple!
Earlier today, we told you that Natalie Portman is pregnant by (and engaged to) her Black Swan co-star and choreographer, Benjamin Millepied, and now she’s speaking out about her happy news!
Just a few hours after news of Natalie Portman’s engagement and pregnancy was announced, the Black Swan star has released this statement exclusively to EW: “I have always kept my private life private but I will say that I am indescribably happy and feel very grateful to have this experience.” For more with Portman, check out the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, featuring the annual “Oscar Race is On!” package, on stands later this week.
Natalie Portman and choreographer Benjamin Millepied are engaged and expecting their first child, her reps confirm to PEOPLE exclusively.
The couple met during the production of Black Swan. Portman’s performance in the film has earned her nominations for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award.
The actress, 29, will next be seen in the romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, costarring Ashton Kutcher.
This will be the first child for the actress who is due in 2011.
Watch out Judd Apatow! Natalie Portman may be trying to steal your thunder!
In the new issue of Vogue, Natalie said that it’s her goal to make raunchy “female comedies” of the likes of Judd Apatow. Nice.
She said, “Women….are generally not allowed to be beautiful and funny, and certainly not vulgar.”
She went on to say, “There’s a difference between being in a bra and underpants as an object on a men’s magazine cover and playing yourself – a woman with desires and needs who loves and laughs with her friends — in a bra and underpants.”
Mila Kunis was a nervous wreck as she hit the red carpet for the premiere of Black Swan at the Ziegfield Theatre in New York this Tuesday.
A source said, “She was a little nervous about how her most substantial role yet would be perceived. When Mila reached the post-show party at the St. Regis Hotel, she switched heels for slippers. She even joked about wearing jeans and a sweatshirt.”
Reportedly, she even went as far as banning her father from seeing the racy sex scenes between herself and co-star Natalie Portman. She said, “He was like, ‘I don’t think I should see the movie’. I was like, ‘See the movie. There’s going to be a point; get up and leave.’”
She added, “I don’t think any dad should see. It’s just not necessary.”
In an article called “Actors on Actors” Julia Roberts opens up about her friend Natalie Portman, and seeing her in December’s ‘Black Swan’. (Makes me want to see the movie even more!)
“It is an interesting endeavor, watching a friend in a film. It is a risk to agree to write an article about a friend in a film. With someone like my subject today, Natalie Portman, it seemed worth the risk. She is always lovely, always watchable, always interesting. Then there is ‘Black Swan.’ If only I could reach out from the page now and offer you a glass of terribly good wine and ask you to sit a while.
Natalie Portman in the new film by Darren Aronofsky is a ballerina. I cannot think of anything more accurate and complimentary to say about her in this role: She is a ballerina! One is so lost in the aching beauty, the elegant moves and the quiet mania of her pursuits, she, Natalie, ceases to exist.
It is an intense and at times brutal film to watch. There were times when I was watching through tiny cracks in my quaking fingers. But to see her in this role was worth the one night of tossing and turning.
I, as many, first fell deeply in love with Natalie in Luc Besson’s film ‘The Professional.’ A performance like the one she delivers in ‘Black Swan’ affirms that my professional admiration for her was well placed. Now as the years have kindly made her a li’l friend (that’s a joke for Natalie), I am simply beaming with pride for her and want only to have her over to our home to hug her, tell her all the wondrous things we think of her, rub her weary feet and make her the biggest, most delicious dinner she could ever eat!”
