by

As a die-hard film enthusiast with a penchant for unconventional storytelling, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming collaboration between Jenna Ortega and Natalie Portman in “The Gallerist.” The intriguing premise of selling a dead guy at Art Basel Miami is enough to pique my curiosity, but add the star power of these two exceptional actresses, and it’s a recipe for an unforgettable cinematic experience.

According to a recent report from Deadline, it’s been announced that Jenna Ortega and Natalie Portman will join forces and appear in “The Gallerist,” a forthcoming movie directed by Cathy Yan.

The movie, as per Deadline’s report, is set to tell the story of a struggling art gallery owner who devises a plan to pass off a deceased individual as an artwork at Art Basel Miami. At present, no further cast members have been revealed.

At present, no additional information has been disclosed regarding this movie. However, reports indicate that Portman is involved as a producer, along with Jonathan King, Ash Sarohia, Tom McCarthy, Rae Baron, Sophie Mas, and Zola Elgart Glassman.

Ortega is currently making waves in Hollywood’s stardom, most recently appearing in the 2024 sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which was a blockbuster at cinemas. She also graces our screens on Netflix with her role in “Wednesday,” and has been a leading actress in both recent iterations of the “Scream” series, as well as the horror film “X” directed by Ti West.

Natalie Portman, renowned actress in Hollywood, has garnered Oscars and Golden Globes, with her latest appearance being in the critically praised Netflix drama “May December,” alongside Julianne Moore. In the coming years, she will take on a leading role in Phil Johnston’s animated comedy film “The Twits,” slated for release on Netflix in 2025.

As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but acknowledge Cathy Yan’s impressive resume. She’s gained notoriety for her exceptional work as the director of the 2020 DC film “Birds of Prey,” a remarkable production that boasted an almost entirely female cast, including stars like Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, and Ali Wong. Prior to this, she directed the 2018 comedy-drama film “Dead Pigs.” Most recently, she’s made her mark on HBO’s acclaimed series “Succession,” directing an episode in 2021.
