Ten days and counting until Darren Aronofsky pulls the curtain on BLACK SWAN, his new psychological thriller starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel. More excited about a film this year I know a few of us couldn’t be, so any new dope on this bastard prior to release is gonna surface ’round here. Up next? A new clip from the film…in which sexy Natalie sees awfully weird shite while being measured for a costume fitting. Peep that shite below!
Debuting December 3rd:
BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter’s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice.
But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
