Natalie Portman wants to direct. And not just any movie, but a movie based on the book by Israeli novelist Amos Oz called “A Tale of Love and darkness”, a biography about “Oz’s upbringing in Jerusalem amid the fighting during which the Jewish state was founded.” If the movie gets made, Portman would also be directing herself, as she wants to play Oz’s mother, who committed suicide when Oz was a wee bit. Wow, not only does she want to hop onto directing for the first time, but she wants to also star in it. Talk about ambitious! Can our little 4-foot-tall muffin of cuteness handle the pressure? And gee, I sure hope she didn’t learn any “directing” tips from George Lucas, if you know what I mean.
FYI: Natalie Portman was born in Israeli, and her real name is “Natalie Hershlag”. (Yeah, I’d change my last name, too, Natalie.)
