Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega’s dark comedy The Gallerist has secured US distribution from Roadside Attractions and Vertical after premiering at Sundance earlier this year. Director Cathy Yan’s film follows a gallery owner who conspires to pass off an accidental corpse as her show’s centerpiece.

- The cast: Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Sterling K. Brown, Zach Galifianakis, Daniel Brühl and Charli XCX round out the cast, alongside Ortega’s Wednesday co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones.
- The reaction: Roadside Attractions and Vertical’s leadership called Portman’s performance “a dazzling comic edge,” saying the film is “as fun as it is terrifying.”
What to Watch:
The Gallerist marks Cathy Yan’s second directing effort since Birds of Prey, opening in theaters Dec 4. Portman also produced through her own company, while Ortega continues her post-Wednesday run of high-profile roles.
