Lane told EW this week that Portman herself was only featured in “five percent” of the “full body shots.” Technology, she explains, was used to put Portman’s face on her body. Another film that deals with burgeoning technology comes to mind, wherein the protagonist of a big screen spectacle also turns out to be a faker.
