Well, let see the combination of the cast. The sexy Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation, Girl with a Pearl Earring), the handsome Eric Bana (Hulk, Troy, Munich) and the gorgeous Natalie Portman (Star Wars, V for Vendetta). It’s a killer cast for another drama based on history.

The Other Boleyn Girl is a story of intrigue, romance, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in history. Two sisters, Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious father and uncle to advance the family power and status by courting the affections of Henry VIII the King of England (Eric Bana).

The movie was filmed in the UK in late 2006, and will be released at February, 2008. This movies is based on Phillipa Gregory’s novel of the same title. Justin Chadwick is directed the movie and Peter Morgan is the script writer. Costumes design is by Sandy Powell who also worked on Shakespeare in Love, and filming locations include Penshurst Place, Knole Park and Dover Castle in Kent, and Bude in Cornwall.

Do u miss romance comedy ? Well.. I do miss it. After The Devil Wears Prada, I haven’t seen any romance comedy hit the theater. But in this January 2008, you will see another romance comedy. The title is 27 Dresses. Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up), James Marsden (Enchanted, X-Men Trilogy), and Ed Burns (The Holiday) are among the casts.

The story is about a girl name Jane who is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless. She always be a bridesmaid, and a very good 27 times bridesmaid. Always taking care of her friends but never really taking care of her own relationship. When her sister captured her boss (whom she secretly in love with), she begins to examine her always-to-be-bridesmaid lifestyle.

Another sappy romance I guess, but the girls will enjoy it since they have “dresses” in the title. Definitely not men’s movie. 27 Dresses is directed by Anne Fletcher, the director of Step Up, and choreographer on Catch Me If You Can and The 40 Year Old Virgin.
