Natalie Portman is taking a break from the Thor franchise to star in another superhero movie, a biopic of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg spoke about the film in a conversation with California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu, her former clerk, at the American Constitution Society Convention in Washington. The Notorious RBG revealed that the project was held up in development for a very good reason ? Portman wanted to make sure the director was a woman. Eventually, they chose Marielle Heller, whose first film, an adaptation of graphic novel Diary of a Teenage Girl about a girl in the 1970s having an affair with her mother's boyfriend, was well-received at Sundance.??
