"The Wrester" og "Black Swan" var en gang én film

Men så ændrede Darren Aronofsky mening.

Instruktør Darren Aronofsky har afsløret, at "The Wrestler" og hans kommende "Black Swan" i første omgang var en og samme film, selvom de handler om henholdsvis wrestling og ballet.

"I've always considered the two films companion pieces," siger han. "They are really connected and people will see the connections. It's funny, because wrestling some consider the lowest art — if they would even call it art — and ballet some people consider the highest art. But what was amazing to me was how similar the performers in both of these worlds are. They both make incredible use of their bodies to express themselves."

Aronofsky tilføjede, at forbindelsen mellem de to film strækker sig mere end ti år tilbage, hvor han havde forestillet sig at blande de to vidt forskellige verdener.

"At one point, way before I made 'The Wrestler,' I was actually developing a project that was about a love affair between a ballet dancer and a wrestler, and then it kind of split off into two movies," forklarer han. "I realized pretty quickly that taking two worlds like wrestling and ballet was much too much for one movie. So I guess my dream is that some art theater will play the films as a double feature some day."
