The Other Boleyn Girl: My Most Anticipated Movie for 2008

I just finished watching the trailer of “The Other Boleyn Girl” in YouTube and I could not wait to watch that movie. With spectacular casts, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson (two of my favorite female actresses) and Eric Bana, a historical plot, and great cinematography, this movie will surely make it to the top box-office hits.

Plot Summary (from IMDb):

A sumptuous and sensual tale of intrigue, romance and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in European history, “The Other Boleyn Girl” tells the story of two beautiful sisters, Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) Boleyn who, driven by their family’s blind ambition, compete for the love of the handsome and passionate King Henry VIII (Eric Bana). Both women shall share the King’s bed, but only the one whom Henry loves the most shall rise to the throne and take power as his Queen of England. One sister shall fail, and the other will pay a high-price for her success: her life. But which sister shall it be?

The movie is based on a novel of Philippa Gregory, a New York Times bestselling author, about a tale of two sisters contending for the affection of King Henry VIII. Visit the official website for more information on soundtrack, movie credits, cast, and the book.

I’ve always been a fan of novel-based movies, so I couldn’t also wait for this one. This movie will be released on February 29, 2008 (US released date).
