Natalie Portman is set to make her feature film directorial debut by taking charge of a planned film adaptation of Israeli novelist Amos Oz’s A Tale Of Love And Darkness.
The actress, who was born in Israel, bought the rights to the movie through her Handsomecharlie Films company - and the venture is likely to be her first in a new two-year production deal with Participant Productions.
Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s writer mother Naomi Foner is in negotiations to pen the screenplay.
