Natalie Portman Is Trying To Become A Director

Photo Credit: Bauer Griffin. Snapped yesterday.
These were snapped on the set of "New York, I Love You", in which a handful of filmmakers will direct a short film with a central theme: Finding love within the five boroughs of NYC. A similar flick was released back in 2006, except shot in Paris.

NYC isn't exactly the most romantic place on earth, so it should be interesting to see what's in store. I can pretty much guarantee the following love-encountering settings:

1. Subway
2. Central Park
3. Street fair of some sort
4. Music event

According to IMDb, here are the people involved with the project:
Internationally acclaimed directors such as the Coen brothers, Alexander Payne, Gus Van Sant, Alfonso Cuaron, Wes Craven, Walter Salles, Tom Tykwer, and artists among which Elijah Wood, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Natalie Portman, Nick Nolte, Gena Rowlands, Gérard Depardieu truly enjoyed this enjoyable and inspiring project. We now think Newyorkers need a little love before heading to China. [IMDb]

She'll have no problem directing a dog to use her as a fire hydrant.

Natalie was voted the #1 environmentally friendly celebrity and I see her holding a plastic water bottle. They are not environmentally friendly! Nat, you are totally busted, but don't worry I'm still a huge fan of yours and you're still in my top ten.

I hope this doesn't mean she'll start getting bossy in my fantasies. Up 'til now she's been pretty compliant. Don't get any ideas, Amidala. I'll replace your adorable munchkin ass like THAT.

Hope she makes it as a director because she sucks as an actress. She is so wooden she could give Keanu Reeves lessons.

Natalie is clearly shooting the Central Park theme, that is Bethesda Fountain near the lake and boat basin. Quite romantic, actually. Especially if she is there.
