Natalie Portman is set to make her feature film directorial debut.

The Oscar winner will helm the big screen adaptation of Israeli author Amos Oz’s autobiography, “A Tale of Love and Darkness.”

In addition to directing, Portman will write the screenplay, and play the role of Oz’s mother in the film.

She plans to cast local Israeli actors for the other characters this fall, and begin shooting in early 2014.

It has yet to be decided whether the film will be shot in English or Hebrew.

Portman previously wrote and directed the short Eve, and a segment in 2009’s New York, I Love You.

Natalie Portman is moving to France — although not immediately.

The Oscar winner’s husband, Benjamin Millepied, has been named the new director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet, beginning in September 2014.

A former dancer, Millepied has turned to choreography and founded the L.A. Dance Project last year.

Speaking with the New York Times, he indicated that he’ll continue running his company in California until starting his prestigious new role, at which point he’ll move to Paris with Portman and their son Aleph.

The couple wed last August, having welcomed their baby boy back in June 2011.
