Natalie Portman and Best Buds
http://nataliaportman.blogspot.com/
Portman protagonizará a una mujer que, en la víspera de su boda, decide ponerse a salvo de una crisis nerviosa masiva de conducción a San Diego con sus dos mejores amigos y una carga de marihuana. Así que, como Jamie Redknapp podría decir, "ella es, literalmente, va en un viaje por carretera, Richard."
El guión fue escrito por Jamie Denbo, mientras que Portman producirá junto con el CEO Vendome Pictures, Philippe Rousselet, quien también produce la Luna Duncan Jones de seguimiento, el código fuente. Ningún director se ha estancado, aunque, dada su propensión a "fumar un doobie", ya que creemos que los chicos dicen estos días, se podría hacer mucho peor que dar una llamada de Kevin Smith, una vez que ha hecho con su comedia de hockey, golpear a alguien.

Natalie Portman World’s Most Beautiful Woman
Scientists at the Iranian Institute of Beautology have done it! Using super computers and a program known as “The Photoshop” they were able to construct what the world’s most beautiful woman will look like. Praise be to Allah!
The scientists using science took pictures of all the most beautiful female celebrities and then started combining them scientifically until they were left with one perfect face. Then they each took turns using the picture of the final woman in the bathroom. See the pictures below for how the experiment unfolded.
The first group of women includes actresses Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, and Elisha Cuthbert.
Group 1 combined to make these 2 women. Very beautiful but we can do better.
Here is the final result from Group 1.
The second group consisted of Hilary Duff, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Alba, and Jessica Biel.
Group 2 combined to make these to sluts. Maybe it is just me but they look c*ck hungry. Definitely an attractive group.
Here is the final result from Group 2.
The third group is the sweetheart group. We got Keira Knightley, Kate Bosworth, Kristin Kreuk, and Mandy Moore.
Group 3 came out looking a little funny, but still very bangable.
Here is the final result from Group 3.
The fourth and final group of the experiment consists of Megan Fox, Monica Bellucci, Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson.
What we learned from Group 4 is that Megan Fox would be slightly hotter if she combined with Monica Bellucci. She should get on that.
Here is the final result from Group 4.
Now we take the final results from the 4 groups and combine them. Group 1 with Group 2 and Group 3 with Group 4.
Here is our results. We just need to combine these and we’ll have the world’s most beautiful woman.
This is our final result. The world’s most beautiful woman. Now we just have to stop her from looking like a complete gutter skank whore by adding a burka and we’ll be done.
Beautiful!

Portman added: "The actresses I know are the most disastrous and there may be untidy."
The actress is currently working on Brothers, a film co-stars with Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire. On her role as mother in the film, Portman said: "I have a very maternal mother and that motherhood leaves me very easily, it is also something I hope to do someday."

Unhappy homecoming. Maguire and Portman as walking, talking casualties of war.

Featuring a premise that borders on maudlin, Brothers, director Jim Sheridan's adaptation of Susanne Bier's 2004 Danish film of the same title, achieves something akin to realism: It's obviously a construct but gets right to the heart of the matter. Marketed as a kind of hybrid love triangle/anti-war story, the film is pure agit-prop exposé, portraying the psychic trauma experienced by combat veterans and their families.

Natalie Portman in Black
Natalie Portman walks back to her trailer as she works on her latest movie Black Swan on Monday (February 1) in New York City.
The 28-year-old Israeli American actress stars alongside Mila Kunis in the film about two rival ballet dancers.
Currently, Natalie graces the cover of Elle UK. In the interview, Natalie spoke about her good-girl image on screen.
“The good-girl image was something I consciously cultivated after Leon,” Natalie told Elle UK. “There was a lot of controversy about the whole Lolita thing. My parents were super-protective about it, but I got a lot of weird letters. It was really upsetting. I didn’t want to be seen as a sex object, so I went the opposite direction. I’m definitely not a prude about sex or nudity, I just don’t want do something that will end up in a screen grab on a porn site.”

Natalie Portman reconoció que, cuando está en casa, su aspecto es un desastre y no se asea demasiado
Natalie Portman reconoció que, cuando está en casa, su aspecto es un desastre y no se asea demasiado; algo que le puede llegar a hacer sentir "fea" si se compara con la imagen que tiene cuando acude a los eventos de Hollywood.
"Si siempre estás arreglada y de repente te levantas a la mañana y tienes un pelo y una cara asquerosos, te sientes fea", declaró Portman.
Estar perfecta todo el tiempo es algo imposible, y las actrices son las primeras en reconocer que no se pasan el día arregladas de la misma manera que cuando acuden a una fiesta. Aunque el público sólo tiene la imagen impecable de esos momentos, hay quien reconoce que, igual que todo el mundo, en su casa no se arregla.
Y Natalie Portman es la primera en admitirlo: "Las actrices que conozco son las personas más desastrosas y desaseadas que pueda haber". La protagonista de “La Guerra de las Galaxias” no tiene problema en asumir que en su casa no tiene por qué tener buen aspecto, según informa Showbiz Spy.

Natalie Portman - Léon above and well beyond the plethora
It's the "calm little moments" that elevate Léon above and well beyond the plethora of both "Hitman" action-oriented movies and most any general Action picture out there. Director Luc Besson's (The Fifth Element) magnum opus blends hard-hitting action with both revenge-oriented drama and heartfelt sincerity in the film's superbly-developed relationship between killer and child. Léon understands that human complexities, drama, and consideration for the calm moments in between the action sequences are what make or break a film and separate the best of the genre from the doldrums of repetitive video-game style run-and-gun action that's barely recognizable one from another. Léon not only tells a story to compliment the action, but it constructs a powerful and moving tale that delivers real people with real feelings, real motivations, real skills, and most importantly, real souls to accentuate the purpose of the action. It doesn't hurt, either, that Besson proves himself a master craftsman of action in Léon, and the two combined make for one of the strongest films of its kind.
Hitman Léon (Jean Reno, Godzilla) is the best in the business, a true professional, taking out his targets with stealth and deadly efficiency. His next door neighbor is a young girl named Mathilda (Natalie Portman, Closer) who lives a life of abuse at the hands of her detached and uncaring parents. When her family is murdered by a gang led by a man named Stansfield (Gary Oldman, Bram Stoker's Dracula) as part of a drug deal gone bad, Léon reluctantly takes her in and soon finds himself with more than he bargained for. Mathilda wants Léon to teach her how to be a "cleaner," or hitman, so she can exact her revenge on Stansfield for the murder of her innocent four-year-old brother. Léon reluctantly agrees but soon finds that Mathilda sees him as more than a mentor and father figure, complicating both their relationship and her drive for vengeance that Léon himself cannot ignore.
Léon is a film that explores the human condition in the context of a world at its worst. Through the corruption, hate, greed, and violence that has influenced and, now, come to define young Mathilda's life, the film examines innocence that threatens to succumb to the very things that have torn her world apart. The film's crux stems from the fact that she finds comfort, solace, and even a misplaced romantic attraction in a man who is, himself, made of violence, but not of hate. Unlike Stansfield, Léon is fully capable of both understanding and respecting the distinction between the two and the resultant effect on the mind, body, and soul. Also unlike the people that murdered Mathilda's family, Léon works by a stringent set of rules that may not cleanse his soul of the deeds he's done, but they certainly allow him to, in a way, convey to Mathilda the distinction between "cleaning" the world of its most vile scum and haphazardly murdering both the guilty and the innocent with no respect for life or the deadly force that those that choose a life of violence truly wield.
In that context, the action of Léon is enhanced many times over. The film shows violence in several unique contexts: killing for misguided or otherwise unscrupulous reasons; killing those that, in some way or another, a justification may be made for their deaths; and killing -- and the seemingly unquenchable desire to do so -- for revenge. Each perspective, then, is witnessed through three sets of eyes: the guilty, the innocent, and a man caught somewhere in between. It's the in-between character -- Léon -- that proves the film's most fascinating. The movie creates a wonderful dichotomy that sees him in one scene a brutally efficient killer and, later, as a man that seems caught in a world from which he cannot escape thanks to his lack of education and, by extension, lack of options for a fruitful life outside the world of violence that defines his personal history and prevents him from finding that one thing that could reshape his life: true love. He kills not for money but merely because it's what he's always done, what's come to define his life for better or for worse, and Mathilda's place in his life allows him to find meaning in something other than the care for his plant, an act which symbolizes his desire to nurture rather than destroy, and by extension, his nurturing of Mathilda -- even if it means teaching her to be like him -- gives him a purpose in life that was absent before. Luc Besson's action scenes take on a new tone and purpose when seen through the eyes of each character, and therein lies Léon's greatest strength.
Suffice it to say, however, that Léon is also a success thanks to the high quality acting that permeates the entire film. Gary Oldman delivers another top-notch and Oscar-worthy performance in Léon; while it may not be his signature role, it's one of his very best. One of the finest actors of his or any other generation, he has an uncanny ability to completely lose himself in each and every role he plays, and his effort in Léon is no exception. Deliciously deviant, thoroughly dangerous, morally repugnant, and concealing a secret that adds an additional layer of complexity to his motivation, Oldman's character proves a challenge the actor conquers in every scene-chewing moment. His performance is easily the highlight of the movie from a more technical perspective, besting even the efforts of his fellow actors and Besson's marvelous direction. Still, Léon would not be the success that it is without an almost equally strong performance from Jean Reno. At once both deadly and emotional, Reno plays his character with a superb balance that's reinforced by an undertone of innocence and desire to better his life that allows him to both accept and understand Mathilda on almost every level. Likewise, a young Natalie Portman turns in what is, to date, her strongest performance, no doubt aided by what is the best character and script she's had to work with.
Léon arrives on Blu-ray with another strong 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer from Sony. The film's bright exterior city shots look fantastic with superb clarity and attention to detail and color. The grocery store that sits adjacent to Léon's apartment building features an abundance of colorful products in the window, and the fine detail surrounding the store on the brick façade; pavement; and even a grimy, beaten, and graffiti-laden telephone booth look marvelous. Likewise, interior shots of both Léon's and Mathilda's apartments look appropriately worn, beaten, and generally run down, with a coat of grime and various scuffs, dents, and cracks on the walls. The image also enjoys strong clarity and detail on a myriad of objects. Whether cereal boxes and milk cartons or the fine lines, ridges, and general wear on the bluing of Léon's impressive weapons collection, the transfer allows even the smallest of nuanced imagery to stand out nicely. Color reproduction is solid, too; the green leaves on Léon's prized plant are expertly and realistically rendered, as are any other number of hues throughout, from Mathilda's blue eye shadow in one scene to the pink and red color on Léon's pig-styled oven mitt. Sharpness is solid, though the image can appear slightly soft in several shots. Blacks are generally strong throughout, and flesh tones never veer too far towards either the red or ghastly ends of the spectrum. Rounded out by a moderate layer of film grain, Léon makes for another winning transfer from Sony.
Léon shoots up Blu-ray with a high-quality DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. While the film's themes compliment the action to perfection, it's the action itself that defines the soundtrack. Léon does feature a nicely-done mix outside the bullets; it delivers some exceptional supporting atmospherics during the somewhat ethereal opening musical number. The sounds of the city are nicely realized throughout, but they never overpower the rest of the track, instead working in conjunction with music, dialogue, and additional sound effects to create a pleasant atmosphere. Still, there's no denying that the hard-hitting action of Léon is what makes this track, and from the first action piece on, it's clear that this lossless DTS track means business. Léon's first hit on the fat man features exceptionally reproduced gunfire. Loud, aggressive, and featuring pinpoint placement of both shots and impacts in flesh and solid objects, each shot hits a target with a power and precision that accentuates the artistry of the action and the violence of the moment. Later, heavier machine gun fire and several explosions are heard and felt all around the soundstage, and explosions are delivered with a hefty rattling bass that doesn't overplay its hand. Still, much of Léon is dialogue-driven, and in that department, the soundtrack never falters. Léon makes for another well-above-average soundtrack from Sony.
Aside from the inclusion of the 109-minute theatrical version and 133-minute extended cut of the film, this Blu-ray release of Léon features only a small handful of extras. 10 Year Retrospective: Cast and Crew Look Back (480p, 25:10) is exactly as it sounds, a "virtual gathering" that sees the cast -- spread all over the world -- coming together to recall a vast amount of interesting information revolving around the world of Léon. Participants include Producer Patrice Ledoux, Actress Maiwenn, Casting Director Todd Thaler, Actor Jean Reno, Director of Photography Thierry Arbogast, Actress Natalie Portman, Costume Designer Magali Guidasci, Actor Frank Senger, Editor Sylvie Landra, Actress Ellen Greene, and Actor Michael Badalucco. Jean Reno: The Road to 'Léon' (480p, 12:25) takes a closer look at Jean Reno's performance in a challenging role, framed around the actor's history and how it prepared him to tackle the demands of the lead character in Léon. Natalie Portman: Starting Young (480p, 13:50) takes an interesting look at the film's young character and the equally young actress that portrayed her. Also included is a text-based "Fact Track" that plays over the extended version of the film; BD-Live functionality; and 1080p trailers for The Da Vinci Code, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Angels & Demons, Felon, 12, District 9, and Moon. No digital copy, on-disc or otherwise, is included.
Léon is an exceptional film on every level: thematically, emotionally, and technically. The star of the film isn't the action but rather the meaning behind it, an engrossing look at the loss of innocence, the quest for vengeance, and the search for purpose in life. Few Action films cover such a broad spectrum of emotion as Léon, and its deeper philosophical overtones are supported by a trio of exceptional performances, notably from Gary Oldman in a trademark performance, all of which accentuate the action many times over. Sony's Blu-ray release is technically solid. Both picture and sound quality are very good, and the included supplements are few in number but rather high in quality. Highly recommended.

Natalie Portman is very close to star in the American version of Millennium, the famous trilogy of novels by the Swedish writer Stieg Larsson
Natalie Portman is very close to star in the American version of Millennium, the famous trilogy of novels by the Swedish writer Stieg Larsson. The producer Sony Pictures is about to close the participation of the star Natalie Portman as Lisbeth Salander, performed in European versions of films by Swedish actress Noomi Rapace.
The first two Potter films, the men who did not love Women and the girl who dreamed of a match and a can of gasoline, have had great success in Europe and elsewhere, but have not yet been released in United States. It seems that now Sony Pictures plans to make its own version of the trilogy, complete with the third part, The Queen at the Palace of the drafts.
The U.S. version will have Millennium trilogy
Actor George Clooney is very interested in playing the role of journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who would accompany the couple Natalie Portman as the protagonist Lisbeth Salander. Steve Zaillian (Shindler's List, American Gangster) is in charge of the script of the first part, the United States bears the name of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, while there is still no confirmed director.
George Clooney
During negotiations for the rights of the names sounded saga of Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino to bring the project, although this was later denied by the agent Tarantino. For the role of Lisbeth Salander is also thought of Ellen Page and Kristen Stewart (Twilight, The Runaways), but Natalie Portman is finally cast as the heroine of the Millennium.
Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander
Sony Pictures also confirmed that Scott Rudin, along with Ole Sondberg and Søren Stærmose (both Yellow Bird Films, producer of films in Europe) will be producers of Millennium, which plans the release of his first part in late 2011.
Natalie Portman is Lisbeth Salander
Interesting the announcement of this new saga of success with two great names like Natalie Portman and George Clooney.
