Black Swan = Jennifer’s Body?

The new Darren Aronofsky flick “Black Swan” is being touted as a “psycho-sexual thriller” starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as ballerinas that get all touchy-feely and artsy-fartsy on each other. Sounds sexy, right?

In an interview with Collider, Mila describes her sex scene with Natalie as “a little uncomfortable, whether its the same sex or the opposite sex. The great thing about this is that Natalie and I were actually lucky enough to be friends prior to production, which made it all a lot easier“.

.
Here’s the thing I noticed about Mila’s quote, though. There was another movie that came out last year that was touted as a “psycho-sexual horror” flick where the stars of the film also did a same sex tongue-wagging liplock. That movie was called “Jennifer’s Body” and it starred Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried.

In an interview that Amanda Seyfried gave prior to that flick’s release she claimed that her scene with Megan Fox was “difficult to do, because just on one end, I was uncomfortable, because I kiss men. Even in front of people – to kiss someone for the first time, female or male, is still awkward. And then – also, with a female, I was worried that she would judge me. Or, it was just awkward, because we were kind of pals, and then we had to make out with each other“.

.
Coincidence? I think not. The Megan Fox flick tanked at the box office (even with Diablo Cody’s name attached to it) and if “Black Swan” (with Aronosky’s named attached) follows the same fate, then it’s surely no coincidence.
