Vox Lux Trailer Introduces Natalie Portman as a New Kind of Pop Star.
Updated: August 28th, 2018
The first teaser for Vox Lux has arrived online. The movie stars Natalie Portman and comes from Brady Corbet as his second feature. The project carries with it an ambitious story and a great cast led by Portman, who plays a very successful pop star who is also trying to raise a teenage daughter. This teaser doesn’t really hint at much of what we’re going to see in the movie itself, but it does give us a look at Portman, who is decked out and looking the part.
This truly is just a tease. We follow Natalie Portman as she walks down a dimly lit corridor backstage, presumably at some very large arena, with the crowd cheering for her feverishly in the background. It’s a behind the scenes glimpse at the life of a major pop star. There’s some pretty vibrant orchestral music that kicks in about halfway through and takes us through the end of the teaser. It’s an interesting, if unrevealing, first look at Vox Lux. The synopsis for the movie reads as follows.
“The film begins in 1999 with teenage sisters Celeste (Raffey Cassidy) and Eleanor (Stacy Martin), who have survived a seismic, violent tragedy. The sisters compose and perform a song at about their experience, making something lovely and cathartic out of catastrophe, while also launching a career. The sisters draw the attention of a passionate manager (Jude Law) and are rapidly catapulted into fame and fortune, with Celeste as the star and Eleanor the creative anchor. By the film’s second half, set in 2017, the now 31-year-old Celeste (Natalie Portman) is mother to a teenage daughter of her own (Cassidy) and struggling to navigate a career fraught with scandals when another act of terrifying violence demands her attention.”
It’s quite fascinating that Raffey Cassidy, who previously starred in Disney’s Tomorrowland, will be pulling double duty here as both Celeste’s sister and her daughter in the second half of the story. Vox Lux is set to premiere this upcoming weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival, which is largely seen as an unofficial kick-off of sorts to the annual awards season. It sounds quite a bit like Natalie Portman has a very meaty role here. She’s been nominated three times and won in 2010 for her role in Black Swan. Could we be looking at the first glimpse of her next Academy Award-worthy role?

Currently, Vox Lux is without a distributor, but depending on how it’s received at TIFF over the weekend, that could change here very soon. The movie also comes with original songs from Sia and features a soundtrack composed by Scott Walker, who worked with Brady Corbet on his previous movie, The Childhood of a Leader. Since Vox Lux doesn’t have a distributor, a release date has yet to be set. Though, expect to see it before year’s ends to qualify for the Academy Awards. Be sure to check out the trailer, which was released via the It’s Trailer Time YouTube channel, for yourself below.

Natalie Portman’s Rap 2 – SNL
Famous People in Asia
EARLIER this week, Natalie Portman rubbished claims that she ever dated Grammy-nominated musician, Moby.
The 37-year-old actress slammed the 53-year-old as being a 'creepy older man' after he claimed to have dated her when he was 33.
Speaking in his recently published autobiography, Then It Fell Apart, Moby claimed Natalie turned up at one of his performances and 'flirted' with him before asking him out.
But Natalie has slammed the claims, explaining she was a teenager and that Moby was a 'creepy older man' who took an inappropriate interest in her.
'I was surprised to hear that he characterised the very short time that I knew him as dating, because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when I just had graduated high school,' she told Harper's Bazaar.
“He said I was 20; I definitely wasn’t. I was a teenager. I had just turned 18… We only hung out a handful of times before I realised that this was an older man who was interested in me in a way that felt inappropriate.”
Natalie's claims got us thinking about age gap love.
From Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas to Cheryl and Liam - both of whom have an age gap of 10 years - celebs are proving age really is just a number.
Or is it? Dating experts have claimed that when it comes to age gap dating, a golden rule should be followed for a happy and healthy relationship.
Apparently, if you're looking for a partner a few years your junior, the youngest age you should date is half of your own age, plus seven.
So, for example, someone aged 30 should look for a partner aged 22 or above for a happy union.
But as ever, celebs rarely stick to the guidelines.
From the likes of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher to Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, these A-listers are writing their own relationship rules.
Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson, 20 years
Rumours that 45-year-old Kate was dating 25-year-old Pete Davidson emerged earlier this year, when the pair were spotted 'getting cosy' at a Golden Globes after party.
Fast forward a few weeks and they were pictured locking lips at a New York Rangers game.
The pair are thought to have parted ways in April after Kate was said to have 'struggled' with the public attention surrounding their relationship.
Camila Cabello and Matthew Hussey, nine years
The 31-year-old relationship coach and 22-year-old Camila are thought to have started dating in 2018.
With an gap of nine years, they've only just broken the golden age gap rule.
'He makes me the happiest I've ever been in my life,' Camila told Marie Claire.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, 12 years
Megan and Brian started dating in 2004, after meeting on the set of Hope & Faith.
While Brian was 30, Megan was 18.
The pair married in 2010 and have three sons together: Noah, Bodhi and Journey.
Scott Disick and Sofia Richie, 15 years
35-year-old Scott - who is the father of Kourtney Kardashian's three children - has been dating 20-year-old Sofia for two years.
Speaking about their relationship last year, Scott said: 'Honestly everything's been going pretty well lately.
'This is the first time I've ever been with anyone other than Kourtney, so it's definitely different. But it's been a really good thing for me.'
Heidi Klum and Tom Kaulitz, 17 years
Heidi, 45 and Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz, 29 started dating last year and are now engaged.
Speaking about their 17 year age gap to InStyle, at the start of their relationship, Heidi said: 'My boyfriend is many years younger than me, and lots of people are questioning that and asking about it.
'That's really the only time when age seems to be shoved in my faceand I have to give an answer for it. I don't really think about it that much otherwise.'
Lady Kitty Spencer and Michael Lewis, 32 years
Princess Diana's niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, confirmed her relationship with fashion tycoon, Michael Lewis, 60, earlier this month after rumours the pair had been dating since last year.
The couple were spotted out and about in New York, as well as leaving The Mark hotel together - the same spot Meghan Markle had her US baby shower just months earlier.
Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy, 17 years
Mary-Kate Olsen, 32, married French banker Olivier Sarkozy, 49, in 2015 after reportedly dating for two years.
The pair are said to have wed in a 'secret' Manhattan ceremony in front of 50 guests.
Speaking about married life with sister Ashley, Mary-Kate told The Edit: 'I think we’re lucky [working hard] comes quite naturally for us.
'We don’t need so much time to sit and think and ponder.
'But then I have a husband, two step-kids and a life; I have to go home and cook dinner. I run on the weekend.'
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham, 20 years
The pair started dating in 2010 when Jason was 42 and Rosie was 23.
The couple - who got engaged in 2016 - have a son, Jack Oscar, who is almost two years old.
Speaking about her husband-to-be, Rosie told Harper's Bazaar Australia that Jason is 'by far the greatest influence in my life.'
Bruce Willis and Emma Heming, 24 years
Bruce Willis and model Emma Heming have an age gap of 24 years.
The pair married 10 years ago when Bruce was 54 and Emma was 30.
Bruce - who said he fell in love after just one date - now has two daughters with Emma: Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone, 23 years
44-year-old Leonardo has reportedly been dating 21-year-old model Camila for the past two years, after the pair met at an event in Florida.

Emilie Livingston and Jeff Goldblum, 30 years
Emilie, 36 and Jeff, 66 married in 2014 after several years of dating and now have two sons: Charlie and River.
Speaking about their relationship, Emilie said: “I wondered if this feeling could be true because I hadn’t experienced such innocent, passionate, tender, honest love before so quickly.
“We were just honest and aware from day one and took our relationship day by day until I had to express my feelings of wanting a family with him and to share the rest of my life with his beautiful soul!”
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, 15 years
Demi and Ashton met in 2003 when she was 41 and he was 26.
After two years of dating, the pair tied the knot in 2005, but divorced seven years later citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
At the time, Demi said: 'It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton.
'As a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life.'
Meanwhile, Ashton said: 'Right after I got divorced, I went to the mountains for a week by myself.
'I took all my computers away, my phone, my everything. I was there by myself, so there was no talking. I just had a notepad, a pen and water and tea - for a week.'
Ashton is now married to actress Mila Kunis.
Madonna and Timor Steffens, 29 years
Madonna, 60 and Timor, 31 dated in 2014 before breaking up after around eight months.
At the time, Timor told The Mirror: 'There is an age gap between me and Madonna but I don’t notice it.
'My girlfriends have always been older than me and that’s how I like it. I learn a lot.
'Mum is a big inspiration. She is a fighter, a strong independent woman, and any relationship I’ve had in the past was mostly with women that are independent and like to have an opinion.'
J Lo and Casper Smart, 17 years
She might be engaged to Alex Rodriguez now, but once up on a time, 49-year-old J Lo was dating Casper Smart, 32.
The relationship started in 2011, when J Lo was 41 and Casper - one of her dancers - was 23.
Following the break down of their one-year relationship, Casper told journalist Maity Interiano: 'It started out as flirting, then became more than flirting. There was a connection.
'Neither of us thought it would be more than a fun time and suddenly we were spending time together, we enjoyed each other’s company, there was chemistry.
“I was very young, I was 23 or 24, she was 18 years older, so she was about 42 years old with two kids. But in the moment, everything just clicked. We spent every day together for a year.”
Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, 29 years
Kris and Corey have been dating since 2014 after reportedly meeting at a party hosted by son-in-law Kanye West.
38-year-old Corey is now a regular on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and although the pair were rumoured to be getting married, Kris, 63, told Ellen DeGeneres: 'I've done that twice and it didn't work out so well, so I don't know.
'As long as things are going well, why ruffle it up?'
Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima, 14 years
The pair were thought to have met during Paris Fashion Week in 2017 and were together for around 18 months.
While they seemed mega loved up last summer, holidaying in Italy for weeks, in July, the pair seemed to hit a rough patch, when Younes commented on one of Kourtney's bikini snaps: 'That's what you need to show to get likes?'
A month later when the 25-year-old was pictured looking cosy with model Jordan Ozuna in Mexico, it was revealed he and the eldest Kardashian, 40, had split.
