Aronofsky Back on Pointe.

With the involvement of Natalie Portman making the studios happy, it now appears Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan is back in play as the director's next project. "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." (As I noted here, Aronofsky's been researching with all the right ballerinas for this one, imho.)
