A movie like Jackie is on an entirely different plane of existence than Star Wars, and Portman revealed that it’s working with visual affects that is actually a bigger acting challenge to her.
Portman sat down with Deadline to discuss the film, and the preparation that went into playing America’s most famous widow.
Known for her dramatic roles just as much as her parts in blockbusters, Natalie Portman once again has some serious Oscar buzz revolving around her portrayal of a widowed Jackie Kennedy in Jackie.
While being a part of those movies was incredible to her because of the imagination it awakens in its audience (she saw that first hand with her son), it can be hard for her to be that imaginative while filming.
