Trailer Park: "Black Swan" (I'm. Scared.)

Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream) has released the trailer for his new thriller Black Swan (releasing in December) which stars Natalie Portman as a ballerina competing for the lead in Swan Lake against a new, more seductive rival (Mila Kunis). Clearly, there are some All About Eve-Showgirls comparisons to be made here, but some of the startling images (Portman's reflection turning back on her, the mysterious injuries in her back, Barbara Hershey clipping fingernails with ferocity) made me watch this three times. And I'm freaked out, esp. by the red-eyed ending.

(And did you catch that creepy woman at 1:23? That's Winona Ryder!) --Ellen
