Eric Bana to play King Henry VIII
Date : June 21, 2006     Writer : "Caffeinated" Clint Morris    

The Hulk and Queen Amidala look set to team for a new movie from the crowd at Columbia.

Natalie Portman and Eric Bana are in talks for "The Other Boleyn Girl”, a Justin Chadwick directed drama about the ferociously ambitious Boleyn sisters, Mary and Anne (Portman), who are rivals for the bed and heart of 16th century English King Henry VIII (Bana).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Morgan ("The Last King of Scotland") adapted the screenplay, from Philippa Gregory’s book.

BC Films, which originally acquired book rights and made a 2003 telefilm starring Natascha McElhone, also is a producer on the film. Alison Owen, who partnered with BBC to make a big-screen version of the story, will serve as a producer on the Columbia project alongside BBC's David Thompson.
