" With her Oscar-worthy performance in Black Swan, it seems everyone (or every studio) is trying to get their Natalie Portman movie off the shelf and into the public eye. But the over-exposure \u2013 something Portman has no control over \u2013 might prove too much. Her next three films (No Strings Attached, The Other Woman, Your Highness) are all airing trailers and picking up media traction. But clumped together, they feel like The Natalie Portman Variety Show (Natalie &amp;quot;the grieving mother,&amp;quot; Natalie &amp;quot;the smoking hot warrior,&amp;quot; Natalie &amp;quot;Ashton Kutcher&amp;#039;s friend-with-benefits&amp;quot;). It would be nice if the studio system relaxed a few of the release dates and let her Oscar campaign run with the grace and dignity it deserves (rather than ride her media coattails).    The Other Woman marks Portman&amp;#039;s third trailer release this month (fourth, if you count Black Swan). The IFC drama was completed for the 2009 calendar year, but was never released. Jeff Reichert, the interim Director of Public Relations &amp;amp;amp; Promotions for IFC Films explains, &amp;quot;The film was pushed because we had too much on our slate last year. The date has been in the books for a few months and was set in stone before Black Swan opened.&amp;quot; The Other Woman centers on the loss of Portman&amp;#039;s newborn child and her growing pains to re-establish herself in a broken family. Yesterday&amp;#039;s announcement of the film and its February 4, 2011 release date also tie in nicely with Portman&amp;#039;s personal announcement that she&amp;#039;s expecting. But before The Other Woman hits theaters, Portman will be seen in No Strings Attached, a comedy scheduled to release this January. And rounding out the Portman trailer mania is the highly anticipated Your Highness, a medieval pot-comedy epic, helmed by the director of Pineapple Express and starring James Franco, Danny McBride and Zooey Deschanel that aims for Princess Bride-style humor. With a jam-packed schedule for early 2011, the above films will be vying for Portman&amp;#039;s promotional time and will conflict with her Oscar campaign (though they probably won&amp;#039;t dampen her chances to win). Regardless, we&amp;#039;ll probably start seeing trailers for Portman&amp;#039;s next next next next project, Thor, in which Natalie plays Thor&amp;#039;s earthly love interest.
