Rachel is having some internet problems so, unfortunately for you guys, I’ll be keeping the image gallery updated until she’s back online. Today I’ve added some new snaps from the Paris ballet night. The image below was found by Garcy and the full version shows off Natalie’s dress perfectly. The other photos was actually taken by long time friend of the site, Herzwerk, who was in attendance.

Fanatical found a video report about Benjamin’s big opening night in Paris. He is interviewed, with a translation, but the main draw are a few shots of Natalie in the audience.

Last night Natalie was in attendance as Benjamin’s LA Dance Project performed in Paris. We just have two photos so far (click the thumb below to go to the gallery) but I’m sure we’ll have more later.
Thanks to Kitten and Fanatical.

There are new-old Natalie photos and then there are new-OLDDD Natalie photos. This is the latter. In fact, the new shots we have are, we think, from one of her very first professional shoots. Click one of the thumbs to check out the gallery.
Thanks to Kitten.

I’ve got some time so here comes a bumper edition of mini news items.
- As you may have noticed, Natalie didn’t make an appearance at Cannes. I heard from a journo friend in Cannes who confirmed that she was definitely due to appear on the weekend, but the weather has been awful so either the appearance wasn’t that important and she bailed because of that, or she was able to make an appearance without being spotted.
- According to this, Natalie was one of the actresses who auditioned for the role of Daisy in The Great Gatsby. The role went to Natalie’s Brothers co-star, Carey Mulligan.
- Bradley Cooper has spoken about his brief stint as the villain in Jane Got A Gun. He says that he really wished he could have made it work and that was probably why he was so rash in accepting the part before realizing that the schedule just wouldn’t work out. He also says that in Ewan they definitely have the right guy for the role.
- Speaking of Ewan, he’s now sporting a jet black mustache for the film and I can’t even recognize him.
- Finally, Natalie’s dad, a fertility specialist, has spoken out about Angelina Jolie’s decision to have a double mastectomy in order to lower her risk of developing cancer.
Thanks to Frank and Kitten.

Black Swan fans might want to take note that Zavi in the UK is releasing a Steel Book version of the blu-ray. Might be worth it for collectors as they are only printing 4000 copies. Hit the thumb to get more info.
Thanks to Kitten for the find.

Back in April, Natalie attended the 30th Annual Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque, NM, where she was wearing Theonne’s Clementine Contrast Sweater. If you covet it, get it now while it’s on sale. Thanks to Kitten for the find!

We know that the family intends to live in France, but Natalie’s visit now is just that – a visit. Benjamin, however, has been in France for almost a week and will be staying there as his new ballet, Théâtre du Châtelet, opens next week.
Hopefully there will also be a Cannes appearance, but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.
The permanent family move will occur in the spring of 2014. Thanks to Herzwerk.

There were rumours that Natalie would be appearing in Cannes…not sure if that’s true but she is now in Paris, where the whole family will soon be moving permanently. The Daily Mail has some cute shots of Natalie giving Aleph a ride on the carousel. Super cute. And not to worry, Aleph’s face is blurred out.
Thanks to Keith.

Time for a little house cleaning in the way of some mini news items. Dig in.
- Jane Got A Gun has had a rocky road and then some, so it’s not surprising to hear that buyers in Cannes are worried about investing in the project. Sounds scary but as long as the actual filmmaking is going well, they just need to bide their time until they can show the worldwide distributors what they have.
- Speaking of which, looks like Ewan will soon be in front of the cameras for the film.
I’m riding western up in Santa Fe today in prep for ‘Jane Got a Gun’ I am mainly acting in films with Gun in the title. Any suggestions?

- Finally, James Franco admits what we already know – Your Highness sucks.
Thanks to Maribel and Fanatical.
The first official image from Knight Of Cups has arrived and it’s fantastic news for Natalie fans. As we all know, Terrence Malick is prone to cutting stars out of his films, so it’s surely positive that the first piece of publicity for the film features Natalie. Christian Bale is in the shot but he was always going to be the star of the film so that’s no surprise.
Thanks to Jack.
Time for a new poll and instead of simply doing another “how happy are you that Ewan…” type poll, I thought we’d look at all the actors who were, at one time or another, the villains in Jane Got a Gun, and let’s see who is the most popular.
As for the Macbeth poll, for me the most interesting result was how few votes there were against the project. Somehow I thought there would be more pushback.

This is not the worst photo I’ve ever seen…
It’s from the Dior photoset, which means EdenLiao is to thank for the find.
StudioCanal has signed up to co-finance (with Film4) Natalie’s upcoming film, Macbeth, and will distribute the film in France, Germany and the UK. They are heading to Cannes to tie up more international distribution deals but no word yet who will distribute in the US.
We also know that the film will only begin official pre-production later this year with view to shoot early in 2014.
The full Hollywood Reporter piece has a quote mentioning that the film will (attempt) “to bring contemporary themes to an iconic story”. While the producers also mention modern themes and an “energetic story”, and call Natalie and Fassbender two of the finest actors of their generation.
Thanks to Kitten.

You might recall that Natalie was strongly linked to Alfonso Cuaron’s ambitious sci-fi project, Gravity, with reports that she was offered the role. This was as word of Natalie’s performance in Black Swan was spreading and she was becoming a hot commodity again.
But Natalie was also pregnant (happy mother’s day to Natalie and all the mothers out there 
), and that’s potentially the reason why the film went ahead with Sandra Bullock instead. It’s been almost 3 years but the trailer landed a few days back and it looks, sadly, spectacular. At least that’s what I think. Are you guys as bitterly disappointed as me?

Natalie is still in LA and another set of candids has hit the web. Aleph is visible in almost all the photos, and it looks like he’s starting to get quite heavy to hold
A big thanks to Toto20.

I’ve updated the gallery with three new-old photos of Natalie from a shoot for the April 2012 issue of Women’s Wear Daily. Thanks to Kitten!

Terrence Malick’s long time editor, Billy Weber, talked to The Playlist and while he isn’t working on the two Natalie films – Knight Of Cups and Untitled – he does have a little bit of info to divulge.
Weber says despite reports, Malick’s next two films are likely not going to be as experimental and dialogue-free as “To The Wonder.” “’To The Wonder’ is a meditation. I don’t think ‘Knight of Cups’ or the next one will be like that, but I’m not positive…I know what the story is. There will be more dialogue in it,” he said.
I don’t for a second think either film will be conventional, but maybe a softening of his artier ambitions will let a few more people into his world.
