Rising starlet Kristina Anapau (“Cursed”, “Self Medicated”) has joined the cast of Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan”.

Currently lensing in New York City, the psychological thriller centers on a talented ballerina (Natalie Portman) in the New York City Ballet who is tormented by a rival (Mila Kunis) who might or might not be a figment of the dancer’s imagination.

Anapau, who also recently joined the cast of werewolf thriller “First Howl”, plays Russian dancer Galina, a soloist in the ballet company who’s fiercely competing with Portman’s character, Nina, for the lead role in Swan Lake.

The pic, also starring Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey and Vincent Cassel, is due for release in 2010.
