Natalie
Portman Turned Down Kung Fu Snow White
3/3/08
Natalie Portman turned down the chance to star as an ass-kicking Snow
White in a kung-fu version of the fairytale.
Martial arts movie maker Jet Li was rumored to be directing the
adaptation, with Portman in the frame play the lead.
The actress confirms she was offered the part, and loves the idea - but
won't be terrorizing evil queens and dwarves anytime soon.
She says, "It (the movie) exists and it was offered. I'm not
planning to do it. It is a fantastic idea. They should do kung-fu versions
of every fairytale."
