ERIC BANA - PORTMAN AND BANA TEAM UP FOR BOLEYN MOVIE

ERIC BANA and NATALIE PORTMAN are teaming up to play HENRY VIII and ANNE BOLEYN in the big screen adaptation of THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL. The film is based on the historical novel by PHILIPPA GREGORY about the two ferociously ambitious sisters, MARY and ANNE BOLEYN, who are rivals for the heart of 16th Century English King Henry VIII. Executives from BBC Films, which originally acquired the book rights and made a 2003 TV film starring NATASCHA MCELHONE and JARED HARRIS, are also producing the project. Filming is scheduled to begin this autumn (06) in London.
