We’re convinced that there’s just no way for us to write a headline for this flick without it sounding dirty. No matter how much we try, our minds just head immediately for the gutter. In any event some new stills have surfaced for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swam, and we have them for you here.

Natalie Portman, Kristina Anapau, Sebastian Stan, Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, Mila Kunis, and Barbara Hershey are all set to star.

The film 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.
