Based on the best selling novel by Philippa Gregory, The Other Boleyn Girl is an engrossing and sensual tale of two beautiful sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, driven by their family’s blind ambition to compete for the love of the handsome and passionate King Henry VIII.
Anne (Natalie Portman – My Blueberry Nights, Star Wars Eps I, II & III) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson – Girl With A Pearl Earring, Lost In Translation) Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious father and uncle to advance the family’s power and status by courting the attentions of the King of England (Eric Bana – Troy, Munich, Hulk). Leaving behind the simplicity of court life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling world of life at court – and what begins as a bid to help their family develops into a rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the King.
Mary is little more than a child when she is presented to Henry, ordered by her scheming family to serve her King and country by offering herself to him whenever commanded, or doing anything else the great monarch desires. And while his loins are satisfied, life at court is sweet for the unofficial Queen and her pushy coterie. Mary wins King Henry’s love and becomes his mistress, bearing him an illegitimate son.
