If anybody here is interested in reading an excellent screenplay...

http://www.mediafire.com/?dczhjyzuudi

"Black Swan" is Darren Aronofsky's (Requiem For a Dream, Pi, The Wrestler, The Fountain) upcoming film. It is a thriller that hones in on the relationship between a veteran ballet dancer and a rival.

The film is set to star Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Winona Ryder.

Don't get it confused though. This won't be a ballet movie per se. I am currently on page 86 on the 131 page screenplay.

So far it is reminding me a bit of Requiem For a Dream and Fight Club.

The imagery in the script is amazing, I feel like I'm already watching the movie.

If anybody doesn't mind knowing what is likely going to happen on the big screen when this movie comes out and likes Darren Aronofsky's work, give this a read.

Requiem for a Dream is one of my all time favorites. I'll have to give this a look. TP for sharing.

Heya Matt.

In short, not gonna read it -> would LOVE to, but you make it sound as though I really, REALLY should be watching the movie when it comes out.

So, I'll definitely keep a watch on this topic so I can read this after I've seen it, 'cuz I'm quite interested to see what it looks like, or what the differences will be.

TP for sharing indeed!

Yeah, definite SPOILER ALERT!

Anybody who reads this, you will most likely know everything that happens in the movie. That was a price I was willing to pay. I feel like I've already watched the film because the words were so visual it was amazing.

Anybody that reads the screenplay for a movie and DOESN'T know everything that happens is either illiterate or suffers from severe memory loss.

The screenplay was written about a year ago and I am 99.9% sure that Darren Aronofsky will still make some changes if he needs to, so I respectfully disagree.

I'm disappointed, I saw this subject title and thought it was about the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

Yes very interested especially regarding the interplay between Portman and Kunis.  I'm hearing good things.  Hopefully it's as uplifting as Requiem for a Dream.

Darren A is 3-1 in my book.

This movie looks really promising.
