Natalie Portman launches Making Of site

Natalie Portman has just launched a fascinating new website called "MakingOf". It's got lots of interview clips about the behind the scenes of making movies.

Having started acting in films at 11 years old, when friends visit me on set, I am always reminded how intriguing and lucky it is to get to experience filming up close.

When friends come to the set, they always want to know: Who are the many individuals who take part in the making of a film? What do they do? How do they do what they do? How did they get the chance to do what they do? And often: how can I do that too?

These questions led me to believe that there was a desire for this inside look, especially from the vast majority of people who don’t have friends who can take them on set.

It's like a whole site full of what you normally only find on DVD extras. Needless to say I spent a lot of time watching clips already and have it bookmarked.

For people looking to enter the industry, be it as director or stunt guy, there is advice from all kinds of film insiders on how they got in the biz and what they do.

Ron Howard's Next movie


Just read a bit on Ron Howard's upcoming film. Frost/Nixon will have a limited release in early December for Oscar consideration. The film will star the same actors who performed the roles in the very successful play: Michael Sheen as David Frost and Frank Langella as Nixon. You'll remember Sheen played Tony Blair in The Queen. Frank Langella won a Tony Award in 2007 for playing Richard Nixon in the original stage production.
