Tidbits
And now the moment that everyone was waiting … a new ration of Tidbits.
–Planetarium will be released in USA in just two weeks, and here we have a new clip of the film, in which we can see Natalie in a spiritualist session:
The Pulitzer at 100

Tidbits
Although the week is being splendid in terms of photographs and artwork, It remains very weak about Natalie news. While we await developments concerning her next projects, go with a small portion of tidbits.
SXSW film festival is taking place in Austin this week, and yesterday a documentary titled “Mr. Gaga” was premiered. Set in the world of dance, the documentary tells the story the titular director of the Batsheva Dance Company, and Natalie appears briefly in it. The Playlist has more details about it.
People have a few words of Natalie about how challenging it was to work alongside Christian Bale in Knight of Cups:
“Christian would do surprising things all the time. It’s fun to watch – and sometimes scary, like when he’s like diving off a dock into the ocean when you don’t expect it in the middle of a scene. But he also keeps everything feeling very alive and spontaneous. It was really a fun, unusual experience.”
“It’s got that complication to it,” Portman says of what drew her to the role. “Because in one sense [their relationship] has the most authentic love, but also it’s the most forbidden. So there’s this gentleness and a generosity between them, but it’s the wrong relationship to be having.”

Sunday tidbits
And here’s a new ration of Sunday tidbits for all you guys.
It seems that Natalie has participated, along other actors like Meryl Streep or Philip Seymour-Hoffman, in a short documentary named “Starring Austin Pendlenton”. It will be presented in April at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival, and this is its trailer (with a brief appearance of her at the end):

New Projects
Okay, keep the cartwheels modest because while these two project links look legitimate, they’re not exactly going to feature Natalie front and centre.
First up is The Seventh Fire, which is a really interesting sounding documentary that Natalie is producing. She mentions the project here (google translate that sucker!) and below is the synopsis from IMDB.
An Ojibwe community in rural Minnesota is caught between the violent rise of Native American gangs and the struggle for cultural identity. The Seventh Fire is a raw cinematic journey into a rarely seen part of America that reveals the crisis facing American Indian communities across the country.
Next up is a project that sounds like it might have Natalie in front the camera. Let’s start with the IMDB synopsis.
“Based on short stories from Robert Boswell’s collection, seven vignettes explore the difference between fantasy and reality, memory and history, and the joy and agony of the human condition.”
