Black Swan to Get IMAX Release for 15th Anniversary

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan is returning to theaters exclusively in IMAX for two nights only — August 21 and August 24 — marking the film’s first-ever IMAX release. Tickets are now on sale at 250 IMAX theaters nationwide.

The IMAX release of Black Swan will be digitally remastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Remastering) technology.

The crystal-clear images, combined with IMAX’s customized theater geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that makes audiences feel as if they are in the movie. It will also feature a new, immersive IMAX 5.0 sound mix.

Set in the cutthroat world of New York City ballet, Black Swan is a gripping psychological thriller that follows Nina (Natalie Portman), a dedicated dancer whose pursuit of perfection spirals into obsession when a new rival joins the company.

As she prepares for the demanding dual role of the Swan Queen, the mounting pressure begins to blur the line between reality and delusion, leading to a mesmerizing descent into the dark depths of ambition, identity, and madness.

Natalie Portman (Fountain of Youth) delivers a haunting, Oscar-winning performance in Black Swan, directed by visionary filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Caught Stealing, The Wrestler) and released by Searchlight Pictures in 2010.

The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won Best Actress for Portman. It also stars Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey, and Winona Ryder (Stranger Things).

The screenplay was written by Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz, and John McLaughlin. The producers of the R-rated film include Mike Medavoy, Arnold W. Messer, Brian Oliver, and Scott Franklin.
