Black Swan To Fly Soon?
Updating while cartwheeling is harder than it looks. Darren Aronofksy has both Black Swan (the ballet thriller with Natalie attached) and Robocop (the remake) lined up and the Hollywood Reporter blog talks about the possible scheduling conflict between the two projects. Thankfully, for us, the film that seems like it might fall away (from Darren at least) is Robocop.
The director is on the verge of a deal that would have him helming passion project “Black Swan” later this year.
