Hiya

Lets start with a new rumoured project (found by Marina) for Natalie. You can read the full report here but this is the important bit:

The ‘V for Vendetta’ star is reportedly auditioning for the role of a troubled hooker in dark comedy ‘Johnny Postal’.

If she gets the part, Portman will star alongside Blondie singer Deborah Harry who is to play a “sex-crazed, biker b***h past her prime”.

Another music star confirmed for the film is world famous DJ Roger Sanchez who plays a “drug-dealing pimp”.

Shooting on the movie starts this coming autumn and will take place in New York and New Jersey.

I did a little google search and found that there is already an official site (but no mention of Nat or Debbie Harry or Roger Sanchez on it). The site has a full synopsis but here is a little excerpt for the lazy:

Shortly after his arrival, he meets RANDA LEIGH, a young prostitute dealing with her own painful background who withdraws into the character of Holly Golightly from the movie ?BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY?S? every time she has to face a customer.

Randa and Johnny quickly fall in love and take the audience on a wonderful, peculiar journey of self-exploration, the stripping off of invented armor and the discovery of one?s soul mate.

The info on the director is a bit dodgy. The site says that The Believer (a FANTASTIC film) was “his” but you have to go quite far down the IMDB crew list till you see his name.

Nevertheless, we’ll wait and see if something develops and it certainly sounds like it could be quite interesting. Since Nat missed out on playing a prostitute in V for Vendetta, maybe she can now fulfill the dream 😉

Seriously though, she played a stripper in Closer and it was a fantastic role. Keep an open mind.

Gah, gotta run. I’ll be back with the rest later.
