Natalie Portman signed on to play the female lead in David Gordon Green’s Your Highness, a medieval fantasy comedy starring Danny McBride and James Franco. The story follows a pot-smoking prince who is given the responsibility to protect his kingdom from mythical beasts, but rather just hang out being a low lifer and stoned.

McBride plays the pot-head and Franco plays his brother. Portman plays a warrior princess, whom the lazy prince falls in love. The mythical creatures will be created in stop motion with puppets.
