Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming ballet thriller (we need more thrillers based on ballet… really) is about to set into production in New York City and last minute we get three more actors for the bill.
Winona Ryder, Vincent Cassel and Barbara Hershey will join Aronofsky for the ballet-themed thriller.
Ryder, who recently reunited with her DRACULA star Keanu Reeves in the upcoming THE PRIVATE LIVES OF PIPPA LEE, will star as the senior member of the ballet troupe that Portman’s character is a part of. She’s approaching the end of her career and all the dancers are angling to win her role as Odette in “Swan Lake.”
While it sounds like a more graceful version of Showgirls, there is a reportedly racy scene in which Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman have an erotic sex scene.
But that might end up on the cutting room floor just to use sex to sell the director’s cut DVD release.
