Deja Vu: Dancin' in the Rain
Natalie Portman won an Oscar this year for being able to hold her face in the same position for two straight hours in Black Swan. The same consistency can’t be applied to her footing as a ballerina, according to Portman’s dance double in the film, Sarah Lane. 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.
