In turn, the film producers made a response statement:
"We are happy that Sarah Lane performed the most complicated party in the film, nothing remains for us how to thank her for work, but Natalie Portman has danced in most scenes on their own."
The words of the ballerina outraged and the director of the film Darren Aronofsky, who wrote the following:
"That's how it really is. I have my own calculations. The film was 139 dance scenes. 111 untouched with Natalie Portman. 28 with her double Sarah Lane. If you know mathematics, then you will calculate that it is 80% Natalie Portman. As for the duration? One scene or double rarely lasted 1 second. There are two complex dance sequences where we used the replacement of the face. Even so, if we argue from the point of view of time, it will be 90% Natalie Portman.
To be clear, Natalie danced in pointes. If you watched the final scene, which lasts 85 seconds, there was one Natalie, she went to the scene in pointes. She completely stacked the Euout scene without any technical effects. I reacted to the application to put all the points above I and protect my actor. Natalie worked for a long time and stubbornly worked so that she would have the most approximate physical and emotional execution. And I do not want someone to think that they are looking at her. That's her".
