Natalie has been enjoying a break these past few weeks, awaiting the arrival of her third child. We’ve caught a glimpse of her baby bump in a couple of Instagram posts, and she was spotted enjoying a sunny day in Saint Tropez a few days ago. Today we also have a small update on the project announced last week…

According to Deadline,  Amazon has “swooped” on most international rights to Jonathan Bailey and Natalie Portman psychological thriller Pumping Black. According to the article, the deal would be worth around $20 million, making it one of, potentially the, biggest deal that will go down on the ground during the Cannes market.

The film will be directed by Mimi Cave, known for directing 2022 horror Fresh, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan, and 2025 comedy-mystery film Holland, starring Nicole Kidman. Cave will direct from a screenplay by Haley Hope Bartels.

Pic is being produced by Stacey Sher at Shiny Penny (The Hateful Eight), Cave, Anton’s Sébastien Raybaud (Victorian Psycho) and Natalie and Sophie Mas from MountainA (May December). Production is being lined up for the fall.
