The hardships of working with Israeli auteur Amos Gitai (”Free Zone”) have not deterred Natalie Portman from coming back to her native Israel and taking an even more daunting task with another formidable Amos. This time it’s best selling novelist Amos Oz whose novel “A Tale of Love and Darkness” Portman will make into her directorial debut.
The film will shoot in Israel and in Hebrew in Summer 2008. JCS Studios in Israel will handle local production duties.
