Natalie Portman has signed up for two new Terrence Malick movies.

The Oscar-winning actress - who is taking some time off from Hollywood following the birth of her son Aleph with partner Benjamin Millipied last June - will star in 'Knight of Cups' and 'Lawless', with the former set to start shooting this summer and the latter straight after, Deadline.com reports.
