The Black Swan Trailer has just been released starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis and is billed as an American psychological thriller directed by Darren Aronofsky. His recent works include The wrestler and other numbers of a more disturbing nature such as “Requiem for A Dream” an excellent and shocking film and one that would put you off drugs for life. Other stars that feature in Black Swan include Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder.
Black Swan looks to be another serious number. Plot details below courtesy Wikipedia.
A New York City ballet company is producing Swan Lake, and director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) with ballerina Nina (Portman). Nina lives with Erica (Hershey), her overbearing mother and a former ballerina. Nina finds competition in new dancer Lily (Kunis). Swan Lake requires a ballerina who can play the innocent White Swan, which fits Nina, and the sensual Black Swan, which fits Lily. The dancers’ rivalry changes into a bizarre friendship, and Nina begins exploring a dark side of herself.
We follow Dita Von Teese on Twitter and she had this to say about the film trailer.
“Black Swan with Natalie Portman looks amazing. I never go out to the movies, I usually watch dvds. This one will get me to the theatre!”
This on paper looks to be a decent film, Portman is a decent actress and critics may go for this one as it’s got the pedigree there in acting, direction and plot, whether it does well at the box office and in critical circles is another story!
