Director and producer Ivan Reitman will return behind the camera in May of this year to direct a romantic comedy written by Elisabeth Meriwether, for Paramount Pictures. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher will be the main characters. The project already has a release date, 7 January 2011.
If the partnership between Portman and Kutcher on the screen may not look so inspired, you have to know that the prouction is made in partnership with the two’s production companies. The title, for now, is Friends with Benefits – this title also relates to the story a bit, it’s about how easy it is to have sex and how difficult it is to emotionally get involved with someone..
Reitman has directed the Ghostbusters movies and he’s working on Ghostbusters 3 for Sony Pictures. His first Oscar nomination came this year, for the Up In The Air movie, a movie that he produced and directed by his son, Jason Reitman.
Portman just finished filming Black Swan, directed by Darrn Aronofsky and she is stating to film Thor. We recently seen Kutcher in Valentine’s Day and we will see him again in Killers, a comedy with a lot of action, along side Katherine Heigl.
