The first trailer has just been released for the new film The Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.

Synopsis:

A New York City ballet company is producing Swan Lake, and director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) with ballerina Nina (Natalie Portman). Nina lives with Erica (Barbara Hershey), her overbearing mother and a former ballerina. Nina finds competition in new dancer Lily (Mila Kunis). Swan Lake requires a ballerina who can play the innocent White Swan, which fits Nina, and the sensual Black Swan, which fits Lily. The dancers’ rivalry changes into a bizarre friendship, and Nina begins exploring a dark side of herself.

I’m so excited for this, I think it’s going to be a great film.

Rodarte Designs for The Black Swan

Here is a sneak peak of one of the designs on Natalie Portman in the new ballet thriller The Black Swan. Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy have designed all of the costumes featured in the new film by Darren Aronofsky. This is the first time they have ever designed costumes for film and already this first picture is making me excited to see the rest of what is to come!
