The Wrestler vs Black Swan
The Wrestler and Black Swan began as one movie. The story was originally about a love affair between a ballet dancer and a wrestler, and then split off into two movies. Director Darren Aronofsky even considers the two films companion pieces, but in VERSUS there can only be one film standing. Let's talk about movies!
