Darren Aronofsky Takes On 'Black Swan'

Black Swan
Universal Pictures and Darren Aronofsky have turned to the world of ballet for what they hope will be his next directing effort.

Aronofsky is attached to direct, and John McLaughlin has begun writing a thriller that looks at the manipulative relationship between a veteran dancer and a rival. The studio is fast-tracking the project for Aronofsky, who most recently helmed "The Fountain."
