The Phantom Menace: 20th Anniversary

By | Nat-news, News | No Comments

Star Wars. Episode I: The Phantom Menace premiered in American and Canadian theaters exactly twenty years ago. It’s amazing to see how much time has passed. Star Wars was the definitive international recognition for Natalie and even today, many people began to be fans of her when they saw these films. Padme Amidala is one of the most recognizable characters of the saga, and although the prequels have been reviled by much of the fandom for many years, are being judged much more benevolent and objective lately (as Natalie admitted in her recent Interview for Empire). Here are some pictures and videos to remember Natalie´s appearance in the movie:

Archives, Friends, Patterns

By | Nat-news, News | No Comments

Natalie made a surprise appearance last Friday night: composers Thomas Adès and Nico Muhly assembled an event titled “Archives, Friends, Patterns” at the Theatre at Ace Hotel in LA, and she appeared in the concert’s first half.

Natalie dramatized the Young Mrs. Lincoln’s non sequiturs in an excerpt from the Rome Segment of Robert Wilson’s “the CIVIL warS,” originally planned for the 1984 L.A. Olympic Arts Festival and ultimately performed by the L.A. Phil later that year and again in 2014. There were further excerpts from Glass’ first commercial Hollywood film, “North Star,” as well as from “Mishima,” “Monsters of Grace” (which was commissioned by UCLA) and “Satyagraha.”

Muhly was in a film a few years ago with music by Glass titled “Portals” that was directed by Natalie´s husband.

May The 4th Be With You

By | Nat-news, News | One Comment

The Star Wars day has been today, and Natalie has celebrated it paying a tribute to Peter Mayhew, a wonderful actor and human being, eternal Chewbacca in almost all the films of the saga:

Today, press has also echoed the statements that Natalie made in the recent Interview for Empire about the prequels backlash:

“It was hard,” she recalls. “It was a bummer because it felt like people were so excited about new ones and then to have people feel disappointed. Also to be at an age that I didn’t really understand that’s kind of the nature of the beast. When something has that much anticipation it can almost only disappoint.

With the perspective of time, it’s been re-evaluated by a lot of people who actually really love them now,” Portman says. “There’s a very avid group of people who think they’re the best ones now! I don’t have enough perspective to weigh in.”

Natalie‘s Alleged Stalker Arrested

By | Nat-news, News

This is one of those news that we would never like to report, but here we go …

A few weeks ago we learned of an individual who was calling himself John Wick tried to access the property of Natalie in Los Angeles. She got a restraining order against this person. Well… according to TMZ Website, law enforcement sources say Natalie saw the same man around 3:30 Tuesday afternoon just outside of her home. She immediately called cops and left the premises. Police showed up within minutes and arrested the man for violating the restraining order the actress had against him.

Let’s hope this is the end of this bizarre (and scary) story…

Edit: The Blast has more details about the incident
