Hope it's OK to start a new thread for Nat's short, Eve

New cast details, Rich Delia will play Bruce in the short.

He's expected to be in Venice for the premiere

Natalie's director's statement for Eve:

"I've always had a fascination with the older generation, particularly those who are not at ease with the ageing process."

"The movie concerns a young woman named Kate, who visits her grandma Lola for dinner, and is surprised to find her grandma is on a date with a man named Joe."

kate = Olivia thirlby?

SUFJAN STEVENS COMPOSED MUSIC FOR EVE?!?!

I love him.

http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2008/09/sufjan-stevens-scores-natalie-portmans.html

Indie-rock enthusiast, Natalie Portman is at it again. Currently in Venice promoting her directorial short debut, "Eve," which stars the inimitable Ben Gazzara and Lauren Bacall, a French reporter friend of ours currently at the Film Festival (Julien Dohkan who writes for Allocine), noted that fey indie-rocker Sufjan Stevens has composed the music to her short 22-minute movie.

The short is evidently about a about a girl (Olivia Thirlby) who finds herself intruding on her grandmother's romantic date, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the film was warmly received "crowd pleaser," though our tipster noted that a boom mike was distinctively visible three times in the short and it was a bit "embarrassing," considering Portman was there in the audience.

As for Sufjan, "his style was recognizable : piano, very melancholic, it was all instrumental," wrote our Gallic friend. They added that a piece called "Forgotten Waltz," was included, but they didn't know who wrote it. At the press conference for the film, Portman actually talked about Steven's inclusion and he actress turned director said she didn't know the indie-rocker, but was a big fan of his and called him to see if he'd be interested in composing the score. She called his score "beautiful music," and also noted before attempting to direct a feature, she'll be taking on a few more acting roles (Portman also directed a short in the upcoming vignettes film, "New York I Love You." Oh yeah, for the US Weeklygum's of the world, her bearded beau, Devendra Banhart was also thanked in the credits (naturally).

Portman just recently received a humanitarian award given to film artists who devote themselves to humanitarian causes. The Venice film fest has been apparently low on star-power wattage and interesting films, so Portman's appearance was apparently a relief for the celebrity starved Italian press. However, our reporter called the short, "charming at best."
