The Gallerist, the new thriller starring Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega, is set to form part of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, between January 22nd and February 1st 2026.
The thriller is described as “wickedly fun” in the official Sundance synopsis, which promises “terrific performances by a stellar cast”.
It reads: “Preparing for her Art Basel premiere, gallerist Polina Polinski (Natalie Portman) hosts an early look for art influencer Dalton Hardberry (Zach Galifianakis) to review emerging artist Stella Burgess (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).
“Dalton’s unimpressed with the gallery until he sees one piece that captures his attention and revs up the ruthless machine of the art world.”
Charli XCX, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sterling K. Brown and Daniel Brühl also star in the movie, with a first picture of Portman and Ortega in action having now been released.
Portman previously told Collider of the project: “Cathy Yan’s an incredible director. I loved working with her. We had the most insane cast… Just an embarrassment of riches.
“We had such a fun time. It’s a very funny art-world satire, I would say.”
The Gallerist will premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, which will be held between January 22nd and February 1st 2026. A theatrical release date is yet to be announced.
