Ryder looking to be a Black Swan
Winona Ryder is in negotiations to be part of Darren Aronofsky’s latest project Black Swan. If casted into the feature, she will star alongside Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman. The script, co-written by Aronofsky and Mark Heyman, is the second collaborative effort between the two since Heyman co-produced on the Mickey Rourke starring film The Wrestler. Set in the New York ballet world, the story centers on a veteran dancer (Portman) and a rival (Kunis) who are tangled in a manipulative relationship, but it’s unclear whether the rival is real or a figment of the ballet dancer’s imagination (Variety).
The film will be distributed under Fox Searchlight Pictures and is under Overnight Films. Ryder will next appear in the Michael Polish film Stay Cool and recently was part of the cast of the newest Star Trek movie.
