Monday, June 7, 2010 at 1:12AM Portman, Franco, Zooey - New 'Your Highness' Pics
Oh, that's right: Your Highness. I forgot about this one. It's the medieval comedy starring James Franco and Danny McBride, which also happens to feature Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel. From Spain's Fotogramas magazine (via The Playlist), here's a shot of Nat:

More pictures and the full synopsis are below. The movie, directed by Pineapple Express' David Gordon Green, opens April 8th next year. It was originally scheduled for October of this year, but because it was part of a big release calendar overhaul for Universal, I don't think it says anything bad about this film.



"Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world--Your Highness. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent's fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he's settled for a life of wizard's weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off. Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to trek across the perilous outlands and free the princess. Joined by Isabel (Natalie Portman)--an elusive warrior with a dangerous agenda of her own--the brothers must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights before they can reach Belladonna. If Thadeous can find his inner hero, he can help his brother prevent the destruction of his land. Stay a slacker, and not only does he die a coward, he gets front row seats to the dawn of an all-new Dark Ages."
