First look at Natalie Portman in Pale Blue Dot

Here is the first image from Noah Hawley’s (Legion, Fargo) Pale Blue Dot. It shows Natalie Portman as astronaut Lucy Cola. It is based loosely on the events surrounding astronaut Lisa Nowak.

Based on true events, an astronaut returns to Earth after a lengthy mission and begins an affair with a fellow astronaut. She heads into a downward spiral as she loses her connection to her family — a condition that can afflict those who spend a long time in space — and when her lover begins another affair with an astronaut trainee, the bottom drops out.

The Fox Searchlight film also stars Zazie Beetz, Jon Hamm, Dan Stevens and Ellen Burstyn.

Hawley is also rumoured to be working on a Doctor Doom movie, but we shall have to wait and see what happens with that.
