Jenna Ortega and Natalie Portman are in discussions to star in The Gallerist, a new film from Cathy Yan, the director of Birds of Prey. The movie is a high-stakes art world drama, with complex characters and their ambitions, lies, and power plays. With Ortega’s lightning-fast rise to stardom and Portman’s Oscar-winning legacy, their casting together is sure to create dynamic performances on screen.
With a signature style blended into the mix is the promise of drama hidden in intrigue: The plot of this movie has remained strictly under wraps. The word so far on early buzzes is a mix of emotional intensity and suspense. It is likely to have a good mixture for viewers since Ortega broke through on Wednesday, while Portman had shown great versatility.
This project is continuing the streaks of bold and diverse roles for each of the actresses in acting. Fans are awaiting some on-screen chemistry for them and how, under the direction of Yan, this duo will elevate the story beyond the storytelling. Most definitely, the film would penetrate the complexities of art being a commodity, maybe probably blurring authenticity from the manipulation.
The Gallerist is going to become a hit.
