Looking grunge chic in a blue toque, matching scarf and grey three-quarter length jacket, the 27-year-old actress spent all morning and all afternoon doing her thing in front of the camera amid the chilly winter-like NYC temps.
Co-starring Scott Cohen and Charlie Tahan, Miss Portman plays a young woman named Emelia, who must cope with the loss of her infant daughter, while trying to raise her gifted five-year-old stepson and salvage her rocky marriage.
The film is directed by Don Roos and is based on the novel by Ayelet Waldman.
The role originally belonged to Jennifer Lopez, who’s abrupt and mysterious departure nearly destroyed the film altogether. Natalie rescued the film by taking the lead not only onscreen, but behind the scenes — she’s executive producing the film.
