I really hope that gets an actual release in the states too.

Oh my, that is an amazing cast. I've heard the movie is phenomenal.

Ahh, I love Eva Green. She and Orlando are in Kingdom of Heaven this Friday, right?

Here's an interview with either the screenwriter or director of Natalie's Free Zone:
How did Natalie Portman get involved with "Free Zone"?
One year ago, Natalie wrote me several letters to tell me she wanted to work with me. She liked Kadosh, Kippour, Kedma. For six months, I didn't reply to her, having nothing to propose to her. Until I wrote this screenplay. I needed a young, naive, open-minded character who discovers the reality of the country through two mature women, one Israeli and one Palestinian. We dined together and I built the character in relation to her. I always adapt the script once I cast the actors to integrate their personality.

You created a scandal when you filmed Natalie Portman kissing a man in front of the wailing wall. What happened?
Some religious people were angry. The rabbi who had written us a letter to let us film there pretended, afterwards, that he had never allowed us.

This scene isn't in the screenplay. Wasn't it a provocation to film there?
No. I simply wanted the breakup scene between Natalie and her fiance to take place in this place to make the scene stronger.

I don't think so because Natalie was still filming it during the Oscars.

According to The Late Night T.V Page Natalie isn't doing any appearances during the next couple of weeks. But Hayden will be on "Live with Regis and Kelly" tomorrow (5-3) and he'll be on the "Tonight Show" on Friday (5-6)

I was on another messageboard and found out that Nat and Hayden will be on the cover of Teen People's June issue of 25 Hottest Stars Under 25 (deja vu of 2002 lol). Woohoo!! can't wait to get it!!

Free Zone will be in competition at the Cannes Film Festival this year, which Nat will be attending. She's gonna be there for SW III of course but hopefully she can squeeze in an appearce for FZ as well.

No way, so Hay & Nat arre going to be on the cover again, omg, that is too sweet, I adored the '02 cover!
