Black Swan (The new film from Darren Aronofsky)

BLACK SWAN - Official HD trailer

Holy fucking shitballs. This looks intense and fucked up.

[Jacob]

this looks awesome! mostly because of the sex scene between Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman, obviously.

[theis]

The trailer reminded me of Mulholland Drive (eg. two female leads, sex scene, rivalry, surreal dream-like atmosphere).

Can't wait to see this!

[Jacob]

yeah, absolutely. I had no idea what this movie was going to be about, but I'm now intrigued to say the least.

[wither-I]

another clint mansell score!!!!!

I heard Aronofsky uses a lot of scenes straight from the anime-film "Perfect Blue", which is a really good flick in it's own right.  He bought the rights to it a long time ago...guess he is finally using at least some of it for inspiration.  Pretty much all of Satoshi Kon's films are being made into live-action films...I know they are working on getting Paprika made as well.

Damn I was thinking the exact same things. Looks very Lynch-like, and seeing Mansell's name on the poster instantly makes me interested in this project (even though he only deals with the music).

[Jerry_Curls]

It will be interesting to see how Mila does in a drama. Hopefully she kills it.

[Penicks]

I hope it's not a pretentious piece of shit like The Fontain was. But Aranofsky redeemed himself with The Wrestler so i'm interested either way.

The Fountain was amazing.

[Penicks]

Soundtrack is my favorite of all time, but I prefer good character development and real emotion over some striking visual scenes.

[theis]

For me, it had a lot more to offer than the visual aspect. It moved me on several levels.

Ah well, to each his own.

[deftjess]

looks crazy as shit

wanna see, the trailer caught my intrest

[shine down unshy]

The Fountain was amazing.

Pretty interesting:

"According to a recent interview with Aronofsky, The Wrestler and Black Swan actually began as a single movie before splitting into separate entities."

Aronofsky:

"At one point, way before I made 'The Wrestler,' I was actually developing a project that was about a love affair between a ballet dancer and a wrestler, and then it kind of split off into two movies," he said.  "I realized pretty quickly that taking two worlds like wrestling and ballet was much too much for one movie."

"I've always considered the two films companion pieces," he said. "They are really connected and people will see the connections. It's funny, because wrestling some consider the lowest art — if they would even call it art — and ballet some people consider the highest art. But what was amazing to me was how similar the performers in both of these worlds are. They both make incredible use of their bodies to express themselves." [I tried to convince the judge that was art!] "So I guess my dream is that some art theater will play the films as a double feature some day."

HOLY SHIT, this sounds incredible.

[bright lights, big city]

wow, i REALLY want to see this asap. i wonder if it can challenge Inception for my pick of film of the year?

[one weak]

It looks as though it will outdo Inception for me. I love everything he does, to be fair.

i think it'll definitely outdo inception. i am with brian on this, i really hope kunis does well. she has potential but i've never seen it pushed.

and cassel. well, it's fucking cassel. he's just top notch.
