" In today&amp;#039;s awesome casting news, Natalie Portman has just landed a role that is truly deserving of her greatness.\u00A0 According to Deadline, Natalie Portman is set to play Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader\u00A0Ginsburg in the upcoming movie On the Basis of Sex, which will follow Bader Ginsburg battling the forces of sexism throughout her career.\u00A0 Just a quick recap on who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is, and why this movie is going to be the BEST. She&amp;#039;s currently serving as the Supreme Court Justice in the US, and is only the second woman to ever hold the position (Sandra Day O&amp;#039;Connor was the first). Before she was appointed back in 1993, Ruth did a tonne of work to advance women&amp;#039;s rights. She&amp;#039;s now a feminist icon, and a general bad-ass of justice. Which is basically like being a real-life superhero. OF FEMINISM.\u00A0\u00A0 On the Basis of Sex is scheduled to start filming this year, with no release date announced yet. Daniel Stiepleman is writing the script, and Marielle Hellier, the director behind The Diary of a Teenage Girl, is in talks to direct.\u00A0 \u00A0 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
