Here is an interesting report/rumor from the Closer premiere that took place in Westwood a few days ago. According to one of our readers Natalie Portman has some interest in working with George Lucas once again. But this time in the other "Lucas" blockbuster franchise Indiana Jones.

This is part of the e-mail that we received a few minutes ago:

Hi - Big fan of your website. You're always up early with the latest.

I work for a newspaper in Fl., we covered the premiere of Mike Nichol's new film "Closer" recently. Anyway, a couple of things on Natalie Portman arose, but alas, they weren't included in the piece (had to stick pretty much on the premiere itself - pics, showings' up etc). Stick it in the rumor pile of your site if you wish...

Portman, 23 , obviously doesn't have to break into cold sweat to reflect on her time on the Star Wars films. There's already talking about the actress working with George Lucas again on another multi-million dollar franchise entry, Indiana Jones. Even before filming had wrapped on The Phantom Menace, Portman let the director know that she'd love a part in the next Indiana Jones movie back, and the word is, he might have found a slot for her in the anticipated sequel. Smells like Indiana Jones has an offspring.

In addition, there's apparently been a lot of interest from a few squalid sites wanting to snap up that 'cut' footage from the film.

"I don't doubt it'll happen", Portman says, "But don't look for it to be an extra on the DVD, that's for sure".

This is the first that we hear Natalie Portman's name attached to the Indiana Jones sequel. Perfect timing since Harrison Ford will be hosting the premiere of Hotel Rwanda that we will be covering on Thursday. Just one more question that we will throw at Mr. Ford.

Stay tuned for latest Indiana Jones News!

Thanks "Frans Husband"
