The star of 'Brothers' has begun her work on the Darren Aronofsky's thriller as she was spotted filming scenes in New York City on Monday, December 7.

Natalie Portman has begun her work as veteran ballerina for her upcoming movie "Black Swan" as the first on-the-set photos of the 28-year-old actress in her pink coat and white scarf surfaced. Bringing the pictures from the New York City set of the drama thriller to the attention was Accidental Sexiness.

On Monday, December 7, the co-star of Jake Gyllenhaal in "Brothers" was captured braving the chilly morning to film some scenes for the Darren Aronofsky-directed movie. Surrounded by on-lookers, she was spotted coming out of a subway station at Lincoln Center in the Big Apple for the scenes.

In "Black Swan", Natalie Portman takes on the role of Nina, a veteran ballerina who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer. As the stakes and twists increase with the fast-approacing big performance, it's unclear whether Nina's rival is real or only her delusions. Portman is joined by Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel and Winona Ryder in the cast ensemble.

With words flying around on her girl-on-girl love scene with Kunis, the star of "The Other Boleyn Girl" recently took it to MTV to address the matter. "It's a very extreme movie," she responded to the issue without giving any direct denial or confirmation of the much-talked-about scene. "It's like very extreme situations. But it's not explicit in any way."
