It looks like Natalie might have a new project in the works: according to Deadline, Natalie and Jenna Ortege are in talks to star in The Gallerist with Cathy Jan (Dead Pigs, Birds of Prey) on board to direct. Yan co-wrote the pic with James Pedersen. Portman, Jonathan King, Ash Sarohia, Tom McCarthy, Rae Baron, Sophie Mas and Zola Elgart Glassman are producing.
According to the synopsis, the film follows a desperate gallerist who conspires to sell a dead guy at Art Basel Miami.
Natalie wrapped production on the Apple and Skydance adventure pic Fountain of Youth in June, and Jenna Ortega is coming off the box-office hit Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which just crossed the $400 million worldwide box-office milestone. She is about to start production on season 2 of the hit Netflix series Wednesday and also has the secret J.J. Abrams pic she will shoot next year, so it is still uncertain when filming could begin if a deal is finally reached.
We will be aware of any news regarding this matter.…
