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.

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!
