Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan takes flight

Black Swan Trailer from FoxSearchlight on YouTube

From Darren Aronofsky (director of The Wrestler) comes Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Winona Ryder.

Aronofsky jumped into the picture in the 1990s with films like Pi and later with the haunting Requiem for a Dream and has certainly got the knack for telling unusual tales.

The poster that accompanies the trailer suggests that we might be in for a bit of a supernatural delight. In terms of plot, we’re looking at a pretty run-of-the-mill ballerina show down between Portman and Kunis (playing the White and Black swans in Swan Lake respectively) but with some darker undertones. Black Swan is slated for release on December 1.
