Looking for your next murder mystery fix? Apple TV + limited series “Lady in the Lake” is here to save you. Based on Laura Lippman’s novel of the same name, Natalie Portman stars as a 1960s housewife turned investigative reporter as she pursues the case of a missing woman named Cleo Sherwood ( Moses Ingram ), whose body was found in a city park lake. We caught up with stars Portman, Ingram, and Noah Jupe at the red carpet premiere in New York City on Thursday, July 11.
Jean-Marc Vallée , the late Emmy winning director of “Big Littles Lies” and “Sharp Objects,” served as an executive producer on the series, marking his final project before his untimely passing in 2021. “It was devastating that Jean-Marc passed just before we started [filming],” Portman tells IndieWire. “He was the one who brought me the material initially, with Nathan Ross as a partner, and he was the one who put me and [creator] Alma together, which is one of the greatest collaborations of my life.
I’m very indebted to him and he was a wonderful soul and a great talent and it was a real major loss.” Fellow cast members Noah Jupe and Moses Ingram had nothing but praise for their Oscar-winning co-star. “I was so overwhelmed that first day,” Ingram told IndieWire about her first day on set with Portman.
“I [am] overwhelmed even now, on the back end. To be able to have seen her so much, it’s crazy.” “Natalie is the fucking best,” Jupe tells IndieWire.
“I love her to death.
