Black Swan Producers Deny Natalie Portman Dancing Double Controversy

After Sarah Lane, Natalie Portman's Black Swan dance double, dropped the accusation that Natalie only personally danced about 5% of the movie, it was only a matter of time until Swan filmmakers rebutted her claims. And rebut they have, saying "Natalie herself did most of the dancing featured in the final film." They even managed to play nice with Lane and avoided any character assassinations, saying "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." Hmmm. So, it's a classic case of She Said / Swan Said; which side do you believe? [EW]
