Natalie Portman to lead Aronofsky's next thriller?

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman is attached to star in Darren Aronofsky's thriller "Black Swan," a project that has been brought back to life after being stuck in studio turnarounds.

John McLaughlin wrote the original script, which Mark Heyman rewrote. The Hollywood Reporter describes the project as "a supernatural thriller set in the world of New York City ballet."

Portman would be starring as an experienced ballerina who's having a hard time dealing with a rival dancer. As the story develops, however, Portman's character is not exactly sure whether what she sees and experiences is real.

Sounds intriguing enough to me. Aronofsky recently helmed "The Wrestler," which quickly turned into my favorite film of 2008.

As for Portman, she recently boarded David Gordon Green's upcoming comedy “Your Highness." The charming actress has several projects coming up, including "New York, I Love You," Jim Sheridan's "Brothers" and "Love & Other Impossible Pursuits."
