Many filmmakers have made supernatural horror movies. A smaller group has made films set in the ballet world. But very few directors have tried both at the same time.

That’s the cinematic challenge undertaken by Darren Aronofsky in his new film “Black Swan.” Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) is a talented ballet dancer preparing for a starring turn in “Swan Lake,” under the thumb of her reproachful mother (Barbara Hershey). Lily (Mila Kunis) is Nina’s free-spirited rival — or is she simply a manifestation of Nina’s subconscious? Aronofsky creates a Gothic mood piece that’s equal part character study, baroque scarefest and graceful dance movie.

The director and his cast sat down to talk about their experience making the movie (a choice moment not seen in the video had Portman admitting, to laughter from the audience, that she “wasn’t aware” she was making a horror film while she was shooting it). Check out this video for more thoughts from Aronofsky and his actors on their genre-bending fall picture.

Mila Kunis is featured in the October 2010 issue of “Elle” magazine!

Elle magazine is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. This month’s special issue features 25 twenty-somethings, including Amanda Seyfried, Anna Kendrick, Lea Michele, Meghan McCain and Mila Kunis.

During the photo shoot, photographer Carter Smith set up a video camera and interviewed the young women on remembrances of birthdays past. It’s a very charming video, directed by Smith, especially since the women are dolled up for their Elle moment but seem disaffected at the same time.

It’s nearly 16 minutes long, but we recommend sticking around to the end for a cute surprise.

Some choice quotes:

“My parents asked me if I either wanted to go to Disneyworld or ‘Fiddler on the Roof,’” Grace Gummer, daughter of Meryl Streep says with a snicker. “I chose Fiddler on the Roof.” “I hated you for that,” her sister Mamie says. Later the Gummer sisters share a significant look when asked if their mother has ever thrown them a birthday party. (Answer: No.)

“Is that strange that first one I remember was 13?” Mila Kunis asks. “I could tell you what I wearing.”

“And then we went to an all-male strip club,” the always adorable Gabby Sidibe says. “Which…Not as awesome as we thought it would be.”
