Suspiria? Not really…
Remember those rumors that placed Natalie Portman as the lead of David Gordon Green’s Suspiria remake? Well, it doesn’t appear she’s doing that, but she is taking on a supernatural flick centered around ballet.
She’s set to star in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, a thriller set against the backdrop of New York City ballet, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Black Swan centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who “finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it’s unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions.”
Mark Heyman, a development executive at Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures, has done a rewrite of John McLaughlin’s original script for the film, which Mike Medavoy’s Phoenix Pictures and Protozoa are producing.
