Natalie Portman in new biopic

Natalie Portman is slated to take on the role of the first Jewish female Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in an upcoming biopic.
According to Deadline, The Academy Award winner recently nabbed the starring role in “On the Basis of Sex”, a biopic about the life and career of Justice Ginsburg. Marielle Heller, who recently received critical acclaim for her directorial debut “Diary of a Teenage Girl”, is reportedly in talks to direct the politically charged film. Filming for “On the Basis of Sex” is on track to begin by the end of the year.
The film will centre on the numerous obstacles that Ruth Bader Ginsburg faced as she fought for equal rights throughout her career. On August 10, 1993, Ginsburg took the oath of office as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States after a lengthy career of advocacy for the advancement of women's rights. Known for her mostly liberal views, Ginsburg has made an indelible imprint on the Supreme Court over the years.
