Natalie Portman is all set to star as Jackie Kennedy in a movie titled, "Jackie,' according to a report by Variety.

The movie will revolve around the days immediately after the assassination of the then President, John. F. Kennedy. The movie will be produced by Darren Aronofsky and directed by Pablo Larrain. The production of the movie is set to begin by the end of 2015.

According to Variety, "'Jackie' talks about the days when Jackie Kennedy becomes an icon but has lost everything."

Larraín's film is expected to center on Kennedy's courage in the four days following her husband's assassination in Dallas on 22 November 1963, which won her admiration from Americans and people worldwide, according to the Guardian.

According to the Daily Mail, the news of this project is not entirely new. This is not a sudden move however, as Natalie reportedly showed interest in the project in 2012.
