Natalie Portman May Take on Role in Universal's Steve Jobs Biopic

[Imory]

She's an ok actress... but she's HOT

Her forehead is a bit to big and she has the body of an 11 year old (her own words). Has a very pretentious attitude in general. She was however great in Leon, which is probably her best work along with Black Swan.

Portman is a well known actress that has starred in high profile movies like Black Swan and V for Vendetta. Most recently, Portman has had a leading role in the last two Thor movies, Thor and Thor: The Dark World.

Interesting that the post and comments thus far haven't mentioned the Star Wars prequels. Some things are best forgotten.

She would be fantastic in whatever role she plays. She was brilliant in Black Swan.

She is terrible in whatever role she plays. She was awful in Black Swan.

She is average in whatever role she plays. She was ok in Black Swan.

Let me google Black Swan and download the movie. She has to be one of the above..:roll eyes:

But I know this for sure.. She's fine in that pic!!

Why is this front page news?

because starhumpers

I'm sure we'll get updates "from the set" on macrumors.com

This is crazy... Portman looks NOTHING like Jobs!

In this age of political correctness, why can't Steve Jobs be played by a woman? And Natalie Portman at that?

I'll admit that I was about to add another "Natalie Portman Black Swan" word-rearrangement, but then I remembered that balamw's reaction was inevitable.

If a mod wants to delete or move this post to make my point, that's fine. But seriously, why is humor not allowed on MacRumors?

I think the mods put up with a lot of 'humor' here. But if a thread turns into a mess i hope they at least step in and gruff a bit.

That being said, i think that this is an amusing thread.

I don't even know who Steve Jobs is! But whoever she is, I bet Natalie Portman could play the hell out of her. She was fantastic in Mars Attacks!

 

[napabar]

Is it me or is there some obsession with yet another Steve jobs movie? Enough already!

Don't go see it then. Why whine about it? None of your business.

 

[TsunamiTheClown]

Picture a hot three way between Jobs, Portman, and some other beautiful woman...

Just say no.

 

[Cayden]

I feel like this movie is getting a lot of backing, but with it is putting a lot of pressure on them. Unless this movie is cinematic gold most will be let down

 

[taptic]

OK, now I will see this movie.

Phew..., we were worried there for a second that you wouldn't...

 

[rGiskard]

Just say no.

Hey, Jobs was a hot guy in his youth. There would be something for everyone in such a scene!

 

[Sofabutt]

Great actress, boring concept for a movie.

 

[Nikos]

Ugh. Really excited about Fassbender, but this is bad news.

 

[brianvictor7]

The surest sign I will never see the film is to cast NP in it. She's not a bad actress, but I just don't care for her.

 

[310mrl]

She's going to be playing the role of Susan Kare, Jobs' lover and the creator of the Mac icons.

Pretty cool - Susan is still very attractive to this day and Natalie Portman would be a flattering choice.

 

[TallManNY]

Why is this front page news?

Because it provided an excuse to put up a picture of Natalie Portman.

I expect you to be against all the hype for the next Star Wars movie. THAT movie has already had more hype than this Steve Jobs movie - and it will become suffocating for you.

 

[Windlasher]

Next week it will be reported she won't be in it, and instead the producers are trying to get Betty White....




Michael

If they get Betty White, I hope she plays Steve Jobs.. She would rock that ******. "

 

[phillipduran]

Ugh, who's next Hayden Christensen?

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

Maybe she should play Steve Jobs.

 

[Soccertess]

Natalie

As long as she makes out with Mila Kunis.

Or maybe she is the new jobs!

 

[jonAppleSeed]

We need more Apple campus updates, please!

 

[diipii]

That'll keep it real.

 

[wilhoitm]

Ugh, who's next Hayden Christensen?

Now we have Queen Padmé Amidala from Star Wars and Magneto from the X-men?

She is too hot for Michael Fassbender! Keep her but replace him!

I think even Noah Wiley would be better than Fassbender! But I am not sure if Noah has even played in a Super Hero or Science Fiction movie!
