Mark Ruffalo & Singer Role Model Join Natalie Portman's Netflix Rom-Com Movie
Netflix has officially unveiled two male lead actors, who will be joining Academy Award winner Natalie Portman in the upcoming romantic comedy movie titled, Good Sex. The project hails from Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham (Girls, Tiny Furniture). 'After spending a decade in a failed relationship, successful couples' therapist Ally is turning 40 and is pushed, kicking and screaming, by her best friend back into the hopeless New York dating scene,' reads the film's official synopsis. 'But Ally finds her life pulled in opposing directions as she falls into a steamy fling with a 20-something Brooklyn hipster just as she begins a promising, more conventional relationship with Alan, a successful 50-something in Manhattan. As a romantic crossroads blossoms into a full-blown identity crisis, Ally juggles to keep these two very different men separate and to make sense of her own conflicting desires before she risks losing them both.' Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo (The Kids are All Right, Avengers: Endgame), and singer Tucker Pillsbury aka Role Model have been tapped to star opposite Portman. Just like the Thor: Love and Thunder star, this would mark Ruffalo's first romantic comedy in a long while. He is no stranger to the genre, as he previously starred in a few iconic movies such as 13 Going on 30, Just Like Heaven, Rumor Has It, and Date Night. As for Pillsbury, this would mark the singer-songwriter's feature acting debut. The movie will be written and directed by Dunham. In addition to leading the cast, Portman will also be serving as a producer alongside Sophie Mas through their MountainA banner. Dunham and Michael Cohen are also producing through their production company Good Thing Going.

Lena Dunham Inks First-Look Deal With Netflix
Netflix has inked a creative partnership with Lena Dunham and her production company, Good Things Going. Under the new deal, Dunham and Good Thing Going will develop and create serialized first look projects for Netflix, the streamer announced as part of its Next on Netflix presentation. The news comes as Netflix and Dunham are in the midst of collaborating on a new series, 'Too Much,' for which Dunham serves as creator, writer, director and executive producer. 'Lena's authenticity and singular voice have redefined storytelling for this generation. She's a creative powerhouse, weaving together complex and nuanced narratives that are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining,' Netflix VP of drama series Jinny Howe said. 'We look forward to delighting audiences with more of the deeply relatable stories they love from Lena.' 'Working with Netflix to bring Too Much to life has been a dream; the trust, support and creative freedom they offer are rare and precious,' Dunham said. 'My producing partner Michael P. Cohen and I are deeply excited to begin the next phase of Good Thing Going with Netflix as our home, one that supports artists and makes so many of the shows that we love as viewers. From the first chat with our Netflix team, we have been aligned in the vision to lean into classic genres and serve them up with a twist, always informed by surprising points of view. We are thrilled to be working across the US and the UK, and hope to engage with Netflix globally to tell a range of stories, set in new and compelling worlds.' 'Too Much,' which is set to debut in 2025, stars Megan Stalter as Jessica, a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows, per the official logline. When she meets Felix (Will Sharpe), who is described as a walking series of red flags, Jessica finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as itcreates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language? Luis Felber serves as co-creator with Dunham, and serves as an executive producer alongside Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Michael P. Cohen, SurianFletcher-Jones and Bruce Eric Kaplan. In addition to Stalter and Sharpe, 'Too Much' also stars Michael Zegan, Janicza Bravo, Richard E. Grant, Leo Reich, Daisy Bevan, Adele Exarchopoulos, Dean-Charles Chapman, Rita Wilson, Andrew Scott, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Andrew Rannells, Rhea Perlman, Emily Ratajkowski, Stephen Fry, Kaori Momoi and Adwoa Aboah.
