career (1)

  1. career (career): Natalie Portman → Garden State. A riff on Garden State turns into proposing Ben replace Zach Braff over the whole film as a Kuleshov-effect experiment.

what-if (3)

  1. what-if (what-if): Natalie Portman → Léon: The Professional. Cast what-if: Portman turned down Wendy, which would have made a trifecta with Professional and Beautiful Girls.

  3. what-if (what-if): Thor: The Dark World → Natalie Portman. Portman had approval over director and script; the Jenkins firing is why she was done with these movies.
