Netflix Wins Bidding War for Natalie Portman, Lena Dunham Rom-Com ‘Good Sex’ With $55 Million Sale


Netflix has emerged victorious in the bidding war for Lena Dunham's new rom-com "Good Sex," starring Natalie Portman.

“Girls” creator Dunham is set to write and direct “Good Sex,” which stars Portman as couple’s therapist Ally, who rejoins New York’s dating scene in her 40s after a decade-long relationship. “But Ally finds her life pulled in opposing directions as she falls into a steamy fling with a 20-something Brooklyn hipster just as she begins a promising, more conventional relationship with Alan, a successful 50-something in Manhattan,” the film’s synopsis reads. Besides “Good Sex,” other upcoming projects include Roald Dahl animated comedy “The Twits,” Guy Ritchie’s heist film “Fountain of Youth” and thriller “The Gallerist” alongside Jenna Ortega.
