Natalie Portman Rides the Darjeeling Limited

Effortlessly elegant even in a bright yellow bathrobe, Natalie Portman stands with Jason Schwartzman on a balcony in this scene from Hotel Chevalier, Wes Anderson’s 12-minute short “prequel” that will play right before his feature film, The Darjeeling Limited (in which Portman also makes a brief appearance).

Written by Anderson, Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman, (and featuring Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, The Darjeeling Limited follows three estranged brothers taking a train ride through India after the death of their father. The film is on schedule to hit theaters September 29, despite star Owen Wilson’s recent difficulties.
