According to Variety Sebastian Stan (“Spread”) has joined the cast of the film and has absolutely nothing to do with either Aronofsky or Portman’s nether-regions. He’ll be joining the previously announced Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, and Barbara Hershey.
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.
Black Swan, whose script has been compared to The Others, could begin shooting as early as this year.
