    Natalie Portman attempts to go incognito in Sydney after dropping out of new movie Days of Abandonment for ‘unforeseen personal reasons’


    Natalie Portman stepped out for the first time since resigning from her new movie Days of Abandonment on Thursday.

    The actress kept a low profile in a white hat and face mask as she strolled the streets of Sydney.

    Natalie teamed the ensemble with a pair of comfortable black sneakers.

    The actress carried a brown paper bag and glanced at her phone as she strolled the streets.

    Natalie’s outing comes after she pulled out from her new movie just a day before filming was set to commence, effectively putting a stop to production, The Daily Telegraph reported on Tuesday.

    ‘Due to unforeseen personal reasons, Natalie Portman has stepped down from HBO Films’ Days of Abandonment prior to the start of filming,’ HBO said in a statement.

    ‘Unfortunately, the production will not move forward. We are very sorry we won’t be able to bring this beautiful story to the screen with our talented writer/director and cast.

    ‘We send our sincere thanks to our cast, producers, and crew for all their passion and hard work.’

    Natalie was also set to executive produce the film, based on the best-selling novel by Elena Ferrante.

    The film had been in pre-production, and centred around a woman named Tess, who abandoned her own dreams in favour of maintaining a stable home life, only for her husband to walk out on her.

    The Federal Government had committed $3.4million to the project as part of its location incentive program, while Communication Minister Paul Fletcher had said he expected the production to generate more than $25million for the local economy.

    While it’s not known what ‘personal reasons’ prevented her from going ahead with the film, Natalie has deleted the majority of posts from her Instagram account.

    Natalie and her family relocated Down Under in September last year, ahead of her filming Thor: Love and Thunder in Sydney.
