I’m a little gaga over the idea of David Gordon Green’s medieval stoner adventure fantasy/comedy Your Highness, his quick re-teaming with his Pineapple Express actors James Franco and Danny McBride. I think it’s gonna be insane – a tongue-in-cheek period Monty Python style satire with crazy special effects, and filled with those cooky images that made up those messed up 80’s fantasy films. Movies like Krull or even Princess Bride.
The kind of flicks that you always half-suspected the guys making them were stoned to the eyeballs, because the movies themselves were trippy as hell.
Today, thanks to a Natalie Portman fansite we get our first look at the movie and indeed Portman, pictured above. At least we think it’s Portman… Gotta be, right?
/film have the plot…
For those of you who don’t know, David Gordon Green is following up his stoner action movie Pineapple Express with a stoner medieval comedy called Your Highness, also starring James Franco and Danny McBride. Ben Best wrote the script, which features “an arrogant, lazy prince (McBride) who must complete a quest to save his father’s kingdom.” Franco plays Bride’s relatively more heroic brother, Zooey Deschanel is his bride, and Portman is a warrior princess who is love interest for McBride.

Pity Pineapple Express was the longest, most unfunny, tedious piece of shit to come out in years. And Portman can’t act, I can only imagine how awful her comedy is. Sounds shit.
She’s a marvelous actress. Can’t wait for this.
I’m thinkin’ like a TRISTAN + ISOLDE comedy.
