Awesome trailer for 'Black Swan' arrives!

Wow! Here is the first trailer for Darren Aronofsky's upcoming thriller "Black Swan," and it looks pretty darn intriguing in my book. Watch it after the jump and I will guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Natalie Portman plays an experienced ballerina who's having a hard time dealing with a rival dancer (Mila Kunis). As the story develops, Portman's character is not sure whether what she experiences is real.

Sounds weird, and as this preview shows, it looks weird. Still, "Black Swan" seems to be a beautifully photographed film filled with great performances and a mysterious plot, and that's how I like it.

Aronofsky's 'Black Swan' opens Venice Film Fest

Darren Aronofsky's upcoming thriller "Black Swan" has been selected to open the 67th Venice International Film Festival, which kicks off Sept. 1, 2010 and runs through September 11.

Natalie Portman plays an experienced ballerina who's having a hard time dealing with a rival dancer (Mila Kunis). As the story develops, Portman's character is not sure whether what she experiences is real.

Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder co-star in the film written by Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz and John McLaughlin. Aronofsky won the Golden Lion in Venice in 2008 for "The Wrestler."

Mila Kunis joins Timberlake in 'Friends'

The charming and very talented Mila Kunis is in talks to join Justin Timberlake in Will Gluck's upcoming comedy "Friends with Benefits." The film is not to be confused with the "Friends with Benefits" flick Ivan Reitman is helming. "Friends with Benefits" is just everyone's favorite title these days.

Vatiety says Kunis plays a headhunter who engages in a casual relationship with a magazine editor (Timberlake). Originally, all they wanted to be are friends with benefits, but things get complicated when they fall in love. Keith Merryman and David Newman wrote the script, which Will Gluck willk direct.

Kunis shows up in a bunch of films recently, and she rocked all of them. She was glorious in "Extract," and she kept my eyes on the screen in "The Book of Eli." She will also soon be seen in Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan." And oh yeah, she's got a small part in "Date Night" too.

Movie Review: “The Book of Eli”

Seen on: January 16, 2010

The players: Directors: Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes, Writer: Gary Whitta, Cast: Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Jennifer Beals

Facts of interest: First Hughes bros. film since "From Hell."

The plot: In a post-apocalyptic world, one man (Washington) travels cross-country to protect a book that apparently holds the hope for mankind.

Our thoughts: Albert and Allen Hughes’ post-apocalyptic action flick “The Book of Eli” boasts strong technical aspects but falls a bit short in the story department. It’s a movie with straightforward messages and lots of brainless action, and chances are many folks out there will enjoy watching Denzel Washington beat the heck out of bad guys.
