Black Swan Tidbits
Time to play a little catch up.
– Let’s start with some release date information. Here is some info on the limited release for December 3rd.
The opening on Dec 3 is now expanding to 8 cities instead of just NY and LA… Boston (Boston Commons, Kendall Square), Chicago (River East, Century Centre, Evanston), San Francisco (Metreon, Kabuki), Washington DC (Bethesda, E Street, Georgetown), Dallas/Ft Worth (Magnolia, Angelika, Plano), and Toronto (Varsity)
– The Movie Line Oscar Index has Natalie “pulling away from the flock”.
– Deadline has their own look at the actress race and has this to say about Natalie:
Many are already predicting the race is over and the Oscar is Portman’s even before the film opens and officially plays for Academy members. One voting wag who’s seen it said, ‘Portman will win every award in sight for this including the Heisman Trophy’. As a mentally disturbed prima ballerina this is Diva to the Dark Side and Portman dazzles every pirouette of the way in the kind of transformative role that melts voters. OSCAR CHANCE: It’s Portman’s to lose — to Bening. And in that case a too-close-to-call split vote could open the door for a spoiler to appear out of this pack you are currently prerusing and take it all.
