It looks like The Other Boleyn Girl will be getting a complimentary film in The Boleyn Inheritance. We get the skinny from our friends at the moviehole:
A sequel to the moderately-successful “The Other Boleyn Girl” is in the works, according to the New York Post. The sequel will be based off of another novel by Philippa Gregory entitled “The Boleyn Inheritance.”
The new movie would be told through the eyes of two of Henry VIII’s wives, Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard. Its unlikely that Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman would return, though Eric Bana may be coaxed into wearing the crown again.
I enjoyed “The Other Boleyn Girl and would be willing to check out another film adaptation of Philippa Gregory’s work. The idea of telling the story from the perspective of two of Henry’s wives is a cool follow up to the film that focused on his concubines.
Reaction from those that have read The Other Boleyn Girl were mixed. Some enjoyed the film, others hated it. It will be interesting to see if this upcoming project appeals to the readers more or less than the previous incarnation.
Those of you that are fans of Philippa Gregory’s books, if you could please share your thoughts on this news – I would be grateful.
