Director Brad Furman has found himself a follow-up gig as the independent film Intricate.
Scott Franklin is set to produce the project. Previous reports on the Internet have mistakenly stated that Darren Aronofsky and his Protozoa Pictures will be involved with the project. Aronofsky denied that he would be producing Intricate.

The Other Woman Trailer and Poster
There will be one more Natalie Portman movie in theaters, besides Black Swan and No Strings Attached where she is expected to be awarded; The Other Woman is the drama based on the Ayelet Waldman novel Love and Other Impossible Pursuits.
The movie seems like one of those modest indies that comes out of festivals, which explains why they have waited that long to put it in theaters.
New poster which features the lead actress in aquarelle pink has gone online. That pretty shade of magenta is quite suitable! The poster is solid enough to present a pastel colored Portman set against a hand drawn city background. Just take a look!
