One of the Tribeca Film Festival’s “Meet the Filmmakers” sessions at the Soho Apple store will feature Natalie Portman (appearing on Friday, 4.24 at 3:30 pm) talking about an “entertainment web project” of some sort. Update: Portman “will join Christine Aylward on the stage of the Apple Store, SoHo, to discuss their new web project, ‘MakingOf’ — a site that promises to transform the way people view, enjoy, and participate in entertainment.”
Portman fan site webmaster Darren Buser sent along a possible indication in this 5.8.07 Gawker item. Her project may involve viral web marketing and the possible participation of Tim Draper of Draper Fisher Jurvetson. Or not.
