I was perusing through IMDB today and was very surprised to find that Philippa Gregory's novel "The other Boleyn Girl" is being filmed and will be out in the beginning of March next year.  Now, I am filled with excitment as it stars one of my favourite actresses, Natalie Portman as the enigmatic and ambitious Anne Boleyn and the so talented Eric ( Read more... )
