Natalie Portman To Star In Rom-Com ‘Good Sex’ With Lena Dunham Writing & Directing; FilmNation & CAA Media Finance Launching For EFM
Portman will play a therapist caught between a steamy fling with a 20-something hipster and a more conventional relationship with an older man.
EXCLUSIVE: Oscar winner Natalie Portman is set to star in rom-com Good Sex, written and to be directed by Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham (Girls).
CAA Media Finance represents domestic rights while Film Nation Entertainment is handling international and will introduce the buzzy project at next week’s EFM.
After Babygirl and Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, age gap romances are in vogue and in Good Sex it’s Portman’s turn to have a dalliance with a younger man.
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.”
