A few days ago, USA Today unveiled the first photos from director Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. In my mind, Aronofsky hasn't had a miss yet: Pi, Requiem for a Dream, the severely underrated The Fountain, and Mickey Rourke's career revival, The Wrestler.
Swan tells the story of ballerina Nina (Natalie Portman), who is selected for the lead role of the production of the ballet Swan Lake in New York City. A new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), arrives to the production, and she exhibits the sensuality that Nina appears to lack. An obsession begins and a strange relationship is formed between the two. The film also stars Barbara Hersey, the always talented Vincent Cassell, and Winona Ryder among others.
All great actors, no doubt. But, if Aronofsky is smart, Portman and Kunis will be in every scene, preferably together. Judging from these beautiful pictures, this film will be oozing sexiness. As always, click the pictures to get a better view.
Black Swan will be debuting at the Venice International Film Festival on September 1st, 2010.
