Portman to Play Warrior Princess in Your Highness

Variety reports that Natalie Portman has signed on to play a warrior princess in a comedy film called Your Highness. Portman's co-stars include Danny McBride and James Franco.

McBride, who wrote the script with Ben Best, plays an arrogant lazy prince who with his brother (Franco) must complete a quest to save the kingdom and his brother's fiance. Portman will play a warrior princess that the lazy prince falls in love with.

McBride and Best set up the project with U and Stuber last year. Jon Mone and Andy Davis are exec producers.

Portman is currently starring with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rainn Wilson in the Spencer Susser-directed "Hesher," which marks Portman's feature debut as a producer under her banner, Handsomecharlie Films.

We like the idea of Natalie Portman playing a warrior princess. The idea would be even more intriguing if it wasn't a comedy film.
