Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I have a fascination with unproduced projects (look for a new regular column coming soon) and it's really interesting to me to see one come off the shelf and get shuffled back into the fold. Darren Aronofsky had a supernatural thriller called BLACK SWAN, set in the world of ballet, that didn't happen a couple years back. Now it's apparently making the rounds again, this time with Natalie Portman (le sigh) attached as the lead. This Hollywood Reporter story from Steven Zeitchik tells us a little about the production, about a competition between two rival dancers that escalates out of control as the big show approaches. But it's possible that one of them might not be anything more than a figment of the others imagination. Natalie Portman as a ballerina = win. Natalie Portman as a ballerina in a supernatural thriller directed by Darren Aronofsky = Mega Jackpot win. -Quint quint@aintitcool.com Follow Me On Twitter
