February 18Feb 18 New Film Project: Good Sex With Lena Dunham It looks like Natalie has a new film project in the works: According to Deadline, Natalie is set to star in rom-com Good Sex, written and to be directed by Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham (Girls). 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.” Natalie and her partner Sophie Mas will produce through their company, MountainA, along with Dunham and Michael Cohen under their Good Thing Going banner. There are no further details on this, nor planned filming dates, at the moment. CAA Media Finance represents domestic rights while Film Nation Entertainment is handling international and , apparently, will introduce the buzzy project at next week’s European Film Market in Berlin.
