According to author Jonathan Safran Foer, Portman approached him
last summer (11) about adapting his novel Eating Animals for a film
project.
In a recent interview with French website Chap, he says, "She
contacted me, she told me that she loved the book. I know her now.
I will help her eventually but it will be her vision. She’s
only at the very beginning."
The actress previously credited the book with helping her to
maintain a healthy lifestyle back in 2009.
