Wes Anderson on Fantastic Mr. Fox

21 hours ago | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »

Mr. Fox with his director Wes Anderson. Wes Anderson came to Hollywood from Texas armed with a short film and a best friend with a funny nose. The year was 1993, the film was Bottle Rocket, and the best friend was—and still is—Owen Wilson. By chance, James Brooks saw and loved Bottle Rocket, and gave Anderson the boost he needed, helping him shore up financing to expand the short into a full-length feature. Since then, Anderson has written and directed four films: Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums—for which he was nominated for best original screenplay—The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and The Darjeeling Limited and its accompanying short, Hotel Chevalier. On Friday, he will be releasing his sixth film, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, a sumptuous, stop-motion version of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s story, which Anderson co-wrote with Noah Baumbach. The film features the voices of George Clooney and Meryl Streep, »

Portman Calls 'Black Swan' Sex Scene "Extreme"

6 November 2009 8:56 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

We've gotten plenty of traffic here at The Big Picture thanks to the story alleging that Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis will have mad sapphic sex in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, so thanks for the hits. Portman recently talked to V magazine about the film and the scene, and while she makes a semantics argument against what's been reported, Natalie is certainly not denying it.

"It's not raunchy - it's extreme," she said. I'm sure there's a difference, if only qualitatively. The tone of the profile makes me think that the extreme scene will involve nudity. Both Portman and Kunis have done nude scenes before, Portman in the short Hotel Chevalier and Kunis in some direct-to-video thing, but now Portman says she's more open to that possibility than she would have been earlier in her career.

"Previously I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, »

Natalie Portman on ‘Black Swan’ sex scene with Mila Kunis: ‘It’s extreme’

5 November 2009 8:55 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Natalie Portman doesn’t want to turn into Denise Richards who is remembered more for being naked rather than her acting…though, really, there’s little chance of that.

The former Star Wars star is not opposed to doing nude scenes when it’s called for, she’s against nude celebrity web sites like Mr. Skin.

Portman originally turned down a role in Wayne Wang’s 1999 film Anywhere But Here, but joined the project when her nude scene was written out of the film. “I’m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I’m very opposed to pornography sites and you’re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that,” she told V magazine. “It’s always a big dilemma for me.”

Portman added that it’s  “annoying because online bullshit interferes with what I want to do artistically.”

Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis to Play Scissor Sisters in Black Swan?

21 August 2009 10:39 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

I'm going to admit a minor sacrilege here and say that I've never really been a fan of Darren Aronofsky's work (with the possible exception of Pi). This isn't the time or place to explain why I find his films boring and pretentious, so I'll just move on to the fact that I couldn't care less when it was announced he was directing a haunted ballerina movie called Black Swan. Until Natalie Portman was cast. And Mila Kunis joined her. As if that wasn't enough to get me interested (it was), Carson Reeves over at ScriptShadow has posted a review of Mark Heyman's screenplay and he begins it this way: Can I just tell you why none of my review matters? Can I just tell you why my review is absolutely pointless? Because in this movie, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have sex. Yeah. You read that right. And »
