'Natalie Portman... is in negotiations to parlay her Pajibical credibility into the lead role in The Other Boleyn Girl. The film, which is to be directed by Justin Chadwick (BBC’s Bleak House), will revolve around the ambitious Boleyn sisters, Mary and Anne (Portman) [edit: I knew it! She is so Anne, not Mary], who notoriously fought over the rights to Henry VIII’s drumstick, who will be played by Eric Bana (Henry, not the drumstick).'

Woo-hoo! Haven't read the book yet (just waiting for it to arrive, actually!), but I have heard wonderful things about it . . . can't wait to see the movie made!

WHAT?! Eric Bana? I love him, he's gorgeous and a skilled actor but I just don't see him in this role.

Holy cow how wonderful. I loved that book, and am giddy with excitment at the thought of making it a movie. I think Natalie would make a great Anne, I wonder who would play Mary. Mary was supposed to be the more attractive one and Natalie is so pretty.

And Eric Bana seems too handsome to play Henry. I never really pictured Henry as any sort of attractive, just powerful.

I'm so glad they are doing a movie of this, something a little different too! I loved Chadwick's "Bleak House".

Actually he was considered pretty hawt (before he got all puffy & gouty with festering ulcers). The younger portraits show a good-looking guy.

That is true about Henry, I just always think of him as bloated like in the pictures from my history books.

I think this will make a very good movie if done right.
