Natalie Portman is on the news a lot these days. She’s one of the few young actresses who constantly get the good breaks. Speaking of which, the movie production of Gravity, which has Alfonso Cuaron at the director’s chair, is said to be considering taking this actress on board. With the recent Oscar Buzz from her latest movie, The Black Swan, it seems everyone’s paying good attention.

The role was originally meant for Angelina Jolie. But sources say, she has turned this down more than once. The studio then thought the role should to go Sandra Bullock, which should work really fine as she will be playing opposite Robert Downey.

But because of the recent buzz on Black Swan, Natalie Portman is looking like a really good choice too. The movie is about castaways in space.
