Though Portman has been largely absent from the screen since collecting an Oscar and a billion other awards for "Black Swan" almost five years ago, save for a contractual appearance in the "Thor" films. With her directorial debut, "A Tale of Love and Darkness" awaiting release, and the announcement of her involvement in two buzzy biopics and now this, it would seem the actresses is coming back to the big screen guns blazing (no pun intended).
Portman plays Jane, a woman who is forced to team up with her ex-lover (Joel Egerton) when her outlaw of a husband is targeted by his gang's leader (Ewan McGregor).
Though I'm not exactly sure how the final product will pan out, the trailer is EXTREMELY focused on Portman (which is a good thing). This is unlike anything she's ever done before, so it's good to see the actress is still challenging herself after winning an Oscar.
Whatever the actual outcome, it's exciting to see Portman front and center in a project tailored to her.
Watch the trailer below. The film will (finally) be released in February. Hopefully the quality will supersede it's troubled journey to the screen.
