One movie I’m really looking forward to is Darren Aronofsky’s BLACK SWAN. I mean I don’t even have to see anything more from this flick and I’ll probably be there opening weekend as it stands already. Why? Well for one I’m a huge Aronofsky fan. Toss in a couple of my favorite actresses in Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman and I think we may just have something amazing. I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks that either.
If you’re in the same boat as I am then you might be excited to hear we’ve got a trio of brand new stills from BLACK SWAN for you to check out today! Courtesy of Fox Searchlight I’ve gone ahead and tossed up the three new stills above and below so you’ll want to do a little scrolling to check those out. Nothing amazing but we are treated to shots of stars Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel. What’re you waiting for? Scroll away and check that shite out!
BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina, 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 who zealously supports her daughter’s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice.
But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily, 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.
Along with Portman, Kunis and Cassel the flick also stars Barbara Hershey, Winona Ryder, Janet Montgomery, Christopher Gartin, Sebastian Stan, Kristina Anapau and Toby Hemingway. This little diddy just hit Venice a couple days ago and is scheduled to hit theaters everywhere on December 1st. Sounds like the perfect Christmas present in this schmuch’s eyes!
