Natalie Portman in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan official trailer



Even if you hate ballet or dance, this is one of those trailers you just have to see. Apple has debuted the official trailer for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel. I was expecting great things from Aronofsky but this looks even better than I was first expecting, I have to be completely honest. And it also gives you a little taste of the "supernatural" elements that the movie contains, since we've heard that there is some. I've said enough though, you just need to watch and enjoy. And yes, I think that's some of Clint Mansell's new score.
"The dark tale with psychological twists stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a technically brilliant ballerina whose life takes some strange turns after being picked as the lead in a [NYC] production of Swan Lake. Pressures mount as her overbearing mother (Hershey) pushes her to succeed and her manipulative dance master commands her to be more seductive and loose in her performance. Complicating that is the arrival of Lily (Kunis), a sultry dancer who exhibits all the innate ease and sexuality that Nina lacks. Nina begins to fixate on the newcomer as the two forge an unusual relationship". Source: www.firstshowing.net
