Some insanely cool casting news for two very exciting projects.

Firstly, Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson are in talks to star in The Beaver with Foster also lined up to direct.  The film tells the story of a grown man who wears a beaver puppet on his hand that he treats as a real person.

Secondly, the enchanting actress Zooey Deschanel who can be seen in the upcoming 500 Days of Summer has signed on to star opposite James Franco, Danny McBride and Natalie Portman in the comedy Your Highness.  The film tells the story of a lazy prince (McBride) who must complete a quest to save his father’s kingdom.  Joining him on the quest is his more heroic brother (James Franco). Deschanel will play Belladonna, Franco’s virginal bride.  Natalie Portman plays McBride’s love interest, a warrior princess.

Natalie Portman cast in YOUR HIGHNESS

Natalie PortmanYes.

Natalie Portman, one of my favourite actresses has been cast in the upcoming comedy Your Highness to star alongside Danny McBride and James Franco.

The film tells the story of an arrogant lazy prince (McBride) who with his brother (Franco) must complete a quest to save the kingdom and his brother’s fiance.  Portman will play a warrior princess that the lazy prince falls in love with.

I was already super excited about this because it was written by Danny McBride and Ben Best and is to be directed by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express), but with Portman’s involvement it’s vaulted right to the top of my must see list.  I can’t wait.
