Movie Studio Responds To Black Swan Body Double Controversy

After Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied and jilted body double/ballerina Sarah Lane made conflicting statements to the media about Natalie Portman's dance work in the film, Fox Searchlight Pictures has released a statement on the matter.

"We were fortunate to have Sarah there to cover the more complicated dance sequences and we have nothing but praise for the hard work she did," the studio said. "However, Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the film."

After Millepied told the Los Angeles Times that "85 percent of that movie was Natalie [dancing]", Lane told Entertainment Weekly, "On the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie. I mean, from a professional dancer's standpoint, she doesn't look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can't dance in pointe shoes. And she can't move her body, she's very stiff."

Hmm, who do you believe?
