Natalie Portman’s “Knight of Cups” premiered at the Berlin Film festival. The young Academy Award winning actress wowed people on the red carpet there and dished on what it was like to work with the legendary director Terrance Malik.
The 33-year-old actress chatted about how the film was unusual in that there was no set script.
“It was quite a lot of discussion, considering how little I worked on the film,” Natalie told Vulture. “We’d receive like 30 pages a day with suggested ideas for dialogue.” In total, Natalie only shot for 4 or 5 days.
“I never had any lines to learn, but I would see other people coming [to set] and they’d have pages,” her co-star Christian Bale added. “I would try to look over their shoulders to see what I was going to be being told that day, because I never knew at all.”
“Knight of Cups” tells the story of a screenwriter living in Los Angeles who tries to make sense of the strange events occurring around him.
