'Feminist icon and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg revealed recently that Natalie Portman, who is innegotiations to play her in an upcoming biopic, has put a halt on production until a female director is attached to the film.
The film, titled On the Basis of Sex, will follow Ginsburg’s life as she fights for equality in her career.
“Natalie Portman came to talk to me about [the film landing a female director], and we had a very good conversation,” Ginsburg said during an American Constitution Society convention panel Saturday, viaMSNBC.
“And one thing, interesting, that she insisted on, it held up the project for a while,” she continued. “She said, ‘I want the director to be a woman. There are not enough women in this industry. There are many talented out there.’ And now they do have a woman director.'
