Black Swan Resurrected, Natalie Portman Attached As Lead

In 2007, Darren Aronofsky was set to direct Black Swan, “a supernatural thriller set in the world of New York City ballet,” for Universal Studios. After being shelved, recent developments from CAA show Natalie Portman attached to play the lead, according to THR.com.

Mark Heyman, a development exec at Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures, has done a rewrite of John McLaughlin’s original script for the pic, which Mike Medavoy’s Phoenix Pictures and Protozoa are producing…If a sale happens imminently, “Swan” could begin shooting as early as this year.
