The 3 Sultry Ladies of Darren Aronofsky's 'Black Swan'

As per the earlier reports, Black Swan will have Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman engaging in some '“ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex”...while that may be ONE reason why we would watch this movie, know that Aronofsky has directed 'Pi', 'Requiem for a dream', 'The fountain' and 'The Wrestler' earlier.

Black Swan is a supernatural drama is set in the world of New York City Ballet. Natalie Portman stars as Nina, a veteran ballerina who finds herself locked in to a competitive showdown with a rival dancer named Lilly (played by Mila Kunis) “with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance.” The big twist is that Portman’s character is not sure whether her rival is a supernatural apparition or if she is having delusions.

Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, and Barbara Hershey (The Portrait of a Lady) have also joined the cast. Ryder will play Beth, Nina’s “sorta friend” who has been the school’s running lead in all the productions, but who is nearing the end of her career. All the dancers are aiming to take her place as Odette, the Swan Queen, in the next big ballet: Swan Lake. Cassel will be playing the ”handsome but sinister Yevna,” the director of the new stage production. And Hershey will play Nina’s mother, a role which was at one point Meryl Streep was rumored to be in talks for (my source says that Streep was never offered the role however).

Black Swan releases in January 2011.
