First Look: Goya's Ghosts

BuzzSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 08:59:11 -0700

The only real thing I've heard about Goya's Ghosts is that Natalie Portman has a nude torture scene in it, which many of the male-helmed movie blogs are weirdly excited about. Aside from that disturbing aspect, the film looks intriguing: Portman plays Ines, the teenage muse to famous Spanish painter Francisco Goya. Falsely accused of heresy, Ines is imprisoned and tortured by the Spanish Inquisition. Much of Goya's rich, dark and often grotesque artwork is featured. The trailer is interesting (and that Javier Bardem as Brother Lorenzo is one spooky dude), so to take a look, read more

Life Lessons From Natalie Portman

Molly — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 11:03:31 -0700

The usually impeccably gorgeous Natalie Portman looks a little off in the coverspread of this weekend's Parade Magazine. Maybe it's her hair? I've been loving her grown out locks, but something about this ages her too much. With the endearingly precious Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium hitting theaters in a few weeks Natalie shared a few of the life lessons she has learned in her wise, wise 26 years. Including her regret over one revealing scene in Goya's Ghosts that in the end wasn't even her. Here's highlights:

On growing up famous: The summer after seventh grade, I shot my first movie, The Professional. Looking back, I realize that I might not have been that sensitive when I told people about it, and it came off as bragging. I was going to a small private school, and the other kids completely turned against me. No one would talk to me. I was so miserable that I had to change schools. But it made me think about how what I say affects other people, and I corrected my bravado.
On trusting her decisions, and that regret: I’ve always been something of a pleaser: I want to make other people happy. That’s not the worst thing. I mean, the fact that you like people and want them to like you is great-as long as you’re not sacrificing who you are. I’m not someone who has a lot of regrets, but last year I did something that I wasn’t comfortable with, and I’m really sorry I didn’t listen to my intuition. There was a scene in a movie that felt inappropriate for me, but I didn’t want to make waves. So I let myself get talked into it, even though it shook me up. From now on, I’m going to trust my gut more. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is say “no.” No matter how much you plan and how hard you try, you can’t predict the outcome of things.

As expected, Natalie sounds like she's got a great head on her shoulders and could teach a thing or two to her contemporaries. Just think, she's only in her mid-20s...and she's already corrected the silly mistakes of her youth. Sigh, kinda little miss perfect.

Natalie Not So Nude After All

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 11:05:17 -0700

Natalie looked cute and casual like always this weekend in NYC. Seems like she had a day of fun in Central Park with some pint-sized friends, even if one of them seems a lot more interested in the latest Harry Potter book than playing with Natalie. The a-list actress isn't one to get caught going out panytless like many of her peers but apparently Natalie will show some skin in her newest movie, Goya's Ghosts. She said, "There's a long shot of a nude woman... It's not me. You do see some parts of me unclothed, but if they end up on Web sites making it look like I'm nude, I'm going to be really, really angry." Natalie just disappointed men everywhere.

This November Natalie has Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium hitting theaters. It looks like a fun fantasy film with Dustin Hoffman and Jason Bateman. To check out the latest trailer, click here.

Natalie Czechs In

Molly — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 15:05:55 -0800

Aww, it has been too long since we've seen Natalie Portman on the big screen, but she's coming back in 2007 with Goya's Ghost and she's finally starting to promote it. What can I say, I'm a sucker for Natalie Portman (as long as she stays away from any more Zach Braff vehicles of emotion). Right now Natalie is in Prague with her director and co-stars, but hopefully she'll be back on the stateside promotional circuit soon. Because seriously, we're not giving the slightly geeky or indie very many pictures to drool over these days.

Sugar Bits - Natalie Not so Naked

Natalie won't be getting naked for her next film "Goya's Ghost." Apparently, not only is Natalie not appearing nude, she was never even asked to! We are sure this news will be very disappointing to many of you. - TMZ
Chevy Chase thinks Vince Vaughn looks like a refrigerator repair man and he also calls his daughter a whore. Looks like someone is desperate to see their name in print again - Page Six
The paparazzo who was arrested last month for taking pictures of Maddox outside his school will not face charges. Seems there was not enough evidence that Clint Brewer was standing actually on school grounds since apparently stalking and hiding in bushes are OK - AP

Natalie Portman As Indiana Jones' Daughter

PopSugar — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 03:21:51 -0700

The highly anticipated return of the Indiana Jones series has been in the works for some time now. The fourth and final adventure with Harrison Ford may now include Natalie Portman. Natalie does have a great relationship with George Lucas and we know guys everywhere would love this casting call. Here's more:

THE PERFECT STORM star KAREN ALLEN, who is expected to reprise her MARION RAVENWOOD role in the upcoming Indiana Jones movie, let the news slip about STAR WARS heroine Portman at a question-and-answer session in New York on Friday (07JUL06). Allen spoke to Indiana Jones fans after a screening of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and, although she was coy about her own part in the fourth film, she revealed Portman's name is being mentioned. She told fans, "I just heard Natalie Portman was cast as Indy's daughter." One fan in attendance says, "She (Allen) immediately changed the subject as if she knew she shouldn't have said anything."

Until this movie comes out we can all look forward to seeing Natalie Portman naked (again) in her upcoming movie, Goya's Ghosts.

Natalie Portman is on set of her new movie Goya's Ghosts in Spain. She is clearly wearing a wig since she has not grown her hair back since she shaved it all off.
