hollywoodnews.com: Looking at the ads for the new film “Black Swan,” it’s hard to tell precisely what the film is – a ballet movie, a backstage drama, or a horror flick. According to the cast and crew, the only thing they knew for sure about it was that they had to make it. Hollywood News spoke to stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis and director Darren Aronofsky at the film’s recent Los Angeles press day, where they discussed the various challenges of preparing and then putting together this remarkably unique film, and finding a cohesive throughline despite the variety of influences, tones and techniques that went into its creation.
