Casting
Mila Kunis vs. Natalie Portman in ‘Black Swan’
Darren Aronofsky’s next film titled BLACK SWAN is well underway, setting it’s cast to begin shooting this fall. The film is slated as a supernatural drama and will set and shot in New York. Natalie Portman is already cast as the lead role and now Mila Kunis is in talks to join the cast as the antagonist to Portman’s character.
In the film, a talented ballerina (Portman) is tormented by her rival in ballet, but the mystery develops around whether or not her rival Lilly is real or just a figment of her imagination. Strange things begin to occur between the two rivals as they approach their big performance.
In an interesting observation, the story sounds a bit like FIGHT CLUB, except with women in ballet instead of of men beating the snot out of each other. (Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing.) Regardless, it’s a film by Darren Aronofksy (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler) so it’s bound to be amazing.
