Natalie Portman Set for Black Swan

It has been quite some time since I have seen a film that I thought could be considered "Dario Argento-esque" but if there is one it has to be Black Swan. The film is being helmed by Darren Aronofsky with Natalie Portman attached. It's being compared to The Others and the plot reminds me a little of Suspiria.

"Black Swan" centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it's unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions.

Since the project has just been put in turnaround there is no word exactly when it will begin. But they are hopeful that everything will go smoothly and they will be able to begin shooting sometime this year.
