Natalie Portman in SUSPIRIA remake?

David Gordon Green's remake lands A-list star?

By Matt Holmes /

Back in March it was confirmed that hot up and coming Indie darling David Gordon Green whose latest movie Pineapple Express opens in the U.S. tomorrow was set to remake a movie he adored - Dario Argento's classic 70's shocker Suspiria. Remaking an absolute classic so early in your career seemed like suicide and even Green couldn't quite fathom why he was directing a remake of one of his favourites saying it "didn't make sense" but he just couldn't help himself. We've since heard nothing about this project until this week where Bloody Disgusting ran an article claiming Natalie Portman was being lined up to topline. Reps for her official website are denying the claims according to AICN but BD are sticking 100% behind their story. Though they do confirm nothing has been signed or sealed... yet. Jessica Harper starred in the original movie, one of the best - if not the best movie horror maestro Argento has ever made. We will have more on this as it develops.
