Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If it wasn't enough that we're getting a new Darren Aronofsky movie that promises to be a psychological thriller that could very well have the highest cuteness-on-screen ratio since HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE now we get word on some serious cool casting.
Joining the already announced adorable duo Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis will be Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey and Vincent Cassel according the huggable Peter Scireta at Slashfilm.
The flick is about two rival ballerinas (Portman and Kunis) vying for the same spot, a vacancy left by Ryder's character as the Swan Queen in Swan Lake. What moves this into the crazy Aronofsky category is that Kunis may or may not be a figment of Portman's imagination.
Hershey would play Portman's mother and Cassel would be the "sinister" director of the ballet.
Go Aronofsky! Can't wait to see this one play out!
