Portmans body and dance double,
Sarah Lane
, came public shortly before the DVD/Blu-Ray release in March 2011 claiming that the films producers asked her not to conduct interviews until after the awards season so

would receive most of the dancing credibility. A promotional video released about the special effects used in the film was also altered so it didnt include aspects of how Lanes face was digitally replaced with Portmans during complicated dance moves Lane was brought in to perform. Choreographer (and Portmans fiancé)
Benjamin Millepied
counteracted Lanes comments by stating, "It was so believable, it was fantastic, that beautiful movement quality. There are articles now talking about her dance double Sarah Lane that are making it sound like she did a lot of the work, but really she just did the footwork, the fouettés, and one diagonal phrase in the studio. Honestly, 85% of that movie is Natalie". Director
Darren Aronofsky
also debunked Lanes claims saying, "Here is the reality. I had my editor count shots. There are 139 dance shots in the film. 111 are Natalie Portman untouched. 28 are her dance double Sarah Lane. If you do the math thats 80%
