Natalie Portman to Star in Romantic Comedy GOOD SEX From Writer and Director Lena Dunham
Academy Award winner Natalie Portman (The Professional, Black Swan, Garden State) is set to star in the romantic comedy feature Good Sex, from writer and director Lena Dunham (Girls). The story is another age gap romance, and the synopsis reads:
“After spending a decade in a failed relationship, successful couples’ therapist Ally (Portman) is turning 40 and is pushed, kicking and screaming, by her best friend back into the hopeless New York dating scene.
“But Ally finds her life pulled in opposing directions as she falls into a steamy fling with a 20-something Brooklyn hipster just as she begins a promising, more conventional relationship with Alan, a successful 50-something in Manhattan.
“As a romantic crossroads blossoms into a full-blown identity crisis, Ally juggles to keep these two very different men separate and to make sense of her own conflicting desires before she risks losing them both.”
Portman and Sophie Mas will produce through their company, MountainA, along with Dunham and Michael Cohen under their Good Thing Going banner.
Portman has previously spoken of her admiration for Dunham as a filmmaker and how she was inspired by her after seeing Tiny Furniture.
Black Swan and May December star Portman has Guy Ritchie’s Fountain Of Youth and Cathy Yan’s The Gallerist in post. Girls creator Dunham is in post on Netflix mini-series Too Much with Will Sharpe and Megan Stalter.
