Fox Searchlight has released the first teaser trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel. Check it out and let us know what you think...
Synopsis: BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City
ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is
completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina
mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter’s
professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent
Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder)
for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his
first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who
impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both
the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who
represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly
but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young
dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to
get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens
to destroy her.
