Fox Searchlight’s “Jackie” Puts Natalie Portman In Best Actress Running

The reviews are in and Natalie Portman’s portrayal of Jackie Kennedy in “Jackie” are dynamite. The original screenplay documents Jackie’s life before and after JFK’s assassination. It was received well at the Venice Film Festival, but after Saturday’s screening in Toronto, it astonished audiences and is now Fox Searchlight Pictures green lit the project for theater distribution…and what looks like most definitely Academy consideration.

Check it out:

Pablo Larraín directed the project and stated:

“I am delighted that Fox Searchlight will be releasing ‘Jackie’ Their movies have been an important influence on me as a filmmaker, and it is a personal achievement for me to have them bring this very special story of a beautiful, sophisticated and mysterious woman to the world. Jackie was the most unknown of the known women of the 20th century.”

This wouldn’t be the first time the production company helped Portman towards Academy Award victory. They are the same studio that earned her her first Oscar win for “Black Swan” and the same producers are attached to “Jackie” and will definitely run a similar Oscar campaign.
