We know what you’re thinking — “Is it possible to do a news story about a movie called Black Swan without making it sound perverse?” No. It’s not possible. We can’t help ourselves. It just sounds so dirty. In any event another rising (there we go again) starlet has joined the cast of Darren Aronofsky’s latest film and we’ve got the skinny for you!
According to MovieHole, the lovely Kristina Anapau has joined the already announced Natalie Portman, Sebastian Stan, Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, Mila Kunis, and Barbara Hershey to play a Russian dancer named Galina, a soloist in the ballet company who’s fiercely competing with Portman’s character, Nina, for the lead role in Swan Lake.
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.
Look for more on the flick soon!
