‘No Strings Attached’ Director Says ‘Friends With Benefits’ Can’t Last

‘It’s very easy to have a sexual relationship that lasts for a short while,’ Ivan Reitman tells MTV News. By Kara Warner Natalie Portman in “No Strings Attached” Photo: Cold Spring Pictures Ivan Reitman is not only one of Hollywood’s most notable and reputable producers of memorable comedies (“Animal House,” “Old School”); he’s also directed plenty of them (“Stripes,” “Meatballs,” “Ghostbusters”), including the upcoming romantic comedy “No Strings Attached,” starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher . The fact that Reitman is one of the most memorable players in the business makes him an intriguing, if slightly intimidating, interview subject. However, given Reitman’s history with wacky and sometimes raunchy comedy, when MTV News caught up with him recently to discuss “No Strings Attached,” we felt it entirely appropriate to ask his thoughts on the idea of “friends with benefits,” particularly whether the mythological-sounding “agreement” that has become commonplace in pop culture these days can ever actually work. “Well, I think it’s very easy to have a sexual relationship that lasts for a short while, where there’s no kind of responsibility and there’s no kind of real ties,” Reitman said thoughtfully. “It’s been my experience, as somebody who’s been married for way more years than I believe, that you can’t do that for any real length of time.” Reitman went on to say that although it’s a nice idea, we human beings can’t help but fall in love at some point, “arrangement” or no. “It’s really the subplot of this movie as well. I think it’s as much of a fantasy that we’d all like to think it’s possible,” he said of the “friends with benefits” idea. “I think it’s tough, because we do fall in love, and there’s something about the human connection that makes us want to have deeper connections.” Check out everything we’ve got on “No Strings Attached.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Natalie Portman Details ‘No Strings Attached’ Love Scenes

‘It’s very strategic,’ she tells MTV News of filming racy sequences with co-star Ashton Kutcher. By Kara Warner Natalie Portman in “No Strings Attached” Photo: Cold Spring Pictures Ashton Kutcher ran into what he described as a “dirty feet situation” while shooting the romantic comedy “No Strings Attached.” But when we caught up with Kutcher’s co-star, Natalie Portman, she told us that particularly sexy scene not only led to filthy feet, but also required a lot of choreography so that she and Kutcher would look “natural” together. “Some of the things were in [the script],” she explained about the flick, which follows two friends as they try to maintain their sex-with-no-attachment arrangement. “Some of the things were like, ‘What are we going to try today?’ And also, a lot of it gets choreographed because it’s like, ‘How are we going to get my hair thing out so that I don’t fall on it?’ or things like that where I’ll be like, ‘I can cover you there, and you can [cover me here],’ ” she added. “So it’s very strategic.” We can only imagine how amusing it must have been for Portman and Kutcher to construct those scenes. In addition to the required choreography, Portman admitted to a few makeout mishaps. “I feel like we probably bumped heads or something,” she said of their sex-scene bloopers. “I feel like most of the mistakes were usually like, we would be wearing modesty undergarments or something that would be revealed.” “No Strings Attached” hits theaters on Friday.

8 Milestones in the Evolution of Natalie Portman

In this weekend’s surprisingly not-near-as-bad-as-it-could-have-been release, No Strings Attached , Natalie Portman plays a doctor who’s too busy for a proper relationship, and instead creates a pact with Ashton Kutcher that develops into a “sex-only” one. How did Portman transform herself from child star to the odds-on favorite to take home Oscar gold (note: not for No Strings Attached ) next month? You can always trace a direct line through a handful of important roles to illustrate what led to an actor’s current success, and with Portman, that line has been on a steady uphill climb sine her debut in Léon . So let’s look at eight performances — including something called “World Patrol Kids” — that trace the evolution of one Natalie Hershlag.

Natalie Portman Calls Fans’ Response To Her Personal Life ‘Wild’

‘It’s so nice, but it’s a new experience to have people know that much,’ pregnant ‘No Strings Attached’ star tells MTV News of well-wishers. By Kara Warner Natalie Portman Photo: MTV News We’ve been hearing a lot about Natalie Portman in recent months. From her buzzworthy, Golden Globe-nominated role in “Black Swan,” to her announcement that she’s engaged and expecting her first child with “Swan” choreographer/co-star Benjamin Millepied, the actress has been making headlines. But Portman has long been known to be guarded about her personal life — “indescribably happy” was the sum of her brief statement about her engagement and pregnancy — so when MTV News caught up with the 29-year-old “No Strings Attached” star as she promoted the romantic comedy, we asked how she was handling all of the public enthusiasm about her happy news. “It’s very positive interactions, I have to say,” Portman said of her well-wishers. “The weird thing is … people knowing something that is so private but, I mean, you get used to that. It’s just wild to walk down the street and have a complete stranger be like, ‘Congratulations!’ It’s so nice, but it’s a new experience to have people know that much about your most private things,” she explained. “[But] it’s all good.” With all the responsibility that comes with welcoming a new life into the world, we wondered whether she’d gotten any parenting advice from her “No Strings” co-star Ashton Kutcher, who is stepdad to wife Demi Moore’s three daughters Rumer, 22, Scout, 20, and Tallulah Belle, 16. “Ashton is a very good parent,” Portman told us. “He would always come in with stories of what went on in the weekend or talks he’s had with one of his stepdaughters and, I mean, obviously nothing that would betray their privacy, but I could just tell he’s such a committed parent. And so yes, I mean, I have a while to go because he’s got more of the teenage girl advice.” Check out everything we’ve got on “No Strings Attached.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
