‘Black Swan’ Getting 15th Anniversary Imax Re-Release

Cinephiles, rejoice! You can now watch Natalie Portman do bloody battle with a pesky hangnail on the widest screen imaginable.

This summer, Searchlight Pictures is teaming up with Imax for special screenings of Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan,” the horror masterpiece that did for ballet what “Jaws” did for beach-going when it opened 15 years ago. It features Portman in her Oscar-winning role as an ambitious, increasingly delusional ballerina, hellbent on convincing her demanding director that she can dance the dual role of the white and the black swan. The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including for best picture and director. It grossed over $329 million globally. Mila Kunis co-starred as Portman’s more confident rival, who prefers her cheeseburgers “extra bloody.”

Searchlight says the remastered version will be an “opportunity to experience the film’s full cinematic scope and depth for the first time ever in the Imax format.”

Searchlight is debuting a new trailer and poster today ahead of the film’s exclusive Imax screenings. Ticket holders will take home a commemorative poster, though the studio cautions that offer is only good “while supplies last.”
