Natalie Portman has dismissed rumours she’s been approached to play the lead role in a highly-anticipated Hollywood remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The first book in Stieg Larsson’s popular Millennium Trilogy was brought to the big screen this year in the late writer’s native Sweden, but movie moguls in America are planning their own big budget version of the story. Many high profile names have been linked to the project, which will be directed by David Fincher, and actresses including Portman, Kristen Stewart and Carey Mulligan have all been rumoured to be in the running to tackle the female lead, Lisbeth. Portman admits she is a big fan of the book series, but is adamant she hasn’t been approached about the part. She tells Moviehole.net, “I really like the books but I have not been approached at all so any of that is pure rumour.”

Tom Hanks is being lined up for one of the main roles in new movie Cloud Atlas. The Oscar-winning actor is wanted to star in director Tom Tykwer’s big screen adaptation of David Mitchell’s acclaimed novel, along with Halle Berry and James McAvoy. Tykwer – who has previously admitted turning the book into a film was a big challenge – is said to be planning to start shooting next year and is also keen for Sir Ian McKellan and Natalie Portman to take part in the project. Portman has been linked to the film before so seems likely to sign on. The story takes place across thousands of years and features six main characters and, according to Tykwer, spans genres including “Melvillean high-seas drama to California noir and dystopian fantasy”. While the rumoured stars are yet to agree contracts, most of them have a clear schedule for early next year so would be available.

Screen Gems’ Friends with Benefits, starring Justin Timberlake and Milla Kunis, will be allowed to continue with the title after a dispute with Paramount Pictures. Both studios had a film with the same title. It is not uncommon in Hollywood for studios to compete over similar titles. Titles can only be approved when one studio drops their protest over the title. The studio who gets the title is usually the one who registered with the MPAA first. The other film, directed by Ivan Reitman, was originally called F*** Buddies and is now on its third name. The movie stars Ashton Kutcher, Natalie Portman and Kevin Kline. Screen Gems may fall into another problem from a new NBC sitcom with the same title. 500 Days of Summer screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber created and are executive producing. According to EW.com the series will expect the movie to change its name.
