Natalie Portman has signed on to play the lead role in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, a supernatural thriller set in the world of New York City ballet.
Black Swan enters on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself in competition with a rival dancer that is either a supernatural apparition or the ballerina's delusion.
The project was previously at Universal, but now has been making the rounds at various studios. When the movie finds a home, production could begin as early as this year.
Aranofsky is currently set to direct the upcoming Robocop reboot.
Paramount Pictures had recently won the right to make a movie adaptation out of the new Leanne Shapton book, Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry. Let's just call it Artifacts instead.
The book is told in the form of a estate auction catalog with 325 entries and photographs that describe the events and lives of a four year relationship between Hal Morris, a photographer, and Lenore Doolan, a food columnist.
According to Variety, the project will be developed as a romantic comedy and star Pitt as Morris and Natalie Portman as Doolan.
