Variety gives The Other Boleyn Girl a rave review, especially complimenting Scarlett’s work!!! I am really excited as the early reviews were mixed and not so complimentary of Scarlett. It has been a while since I’ve read such a positive review of a new performance of hers. Check it out!

Playing less fast and loose with history than Philippa Gregory’s novel, “The Other Boleyn Girl” is a sexy, good-looking political bodice-ripper with an almost flawless cast at the top of its game. With a straight-arrow script by Peter Morgan (”The Queen”) and smooth direction by Brit TV helmer Justin Chadwick (”Bleak House”), pic has the feel of an Old Hollywood studio costumer freshened up with contempo technique and acting styles. Tip-top cast, led by Eric Bana and Scarlett Johansson as Henry VIII and Mary Boleyn, could make this score beyond upscale auds with aggressive promotion and good reviews.

The photocall and press conference are a few hours away from starting. You can live stream them at Berlinale.de starting 2.25 PM (Berlin time). The premiere will be on at 7 PM. If anyone is able to help with grabbing the videos as they come, please get in touch! I’d love to post them for all fans to see even if they are not online as it happens.

Also, be sure to stay tuned for photo coverage! It has been a while since Scarlett attended a big red carpet even so I’ll be sure to bring you lots of eye candy later on today.

Filip sent in 14 gorgeous photos of Scarlett chatting about The Other Boleyn Girl at the movie’s press conference on Monday. I love her look here: casual, yet very classy and beautiful.

I have another big update today for all of you. As earlier reported, Scarlett appeared on The Today Show this morning alongside her Boleyn sister Natalie Portman. Both ladies looked very beautiful. I really loved Scarlett’s look here… Simply stunning!

Natalie gushed on her co-star:

“That’s why I was so excited to do it. It’s so rare to get to work with someone you admire so much and who is in your same age range. It’s such a great opportunity to get to see how this actress that you love works up close. I got to watch how she prepares and got to have her as a scene partner.”

The twosome also appeared in Access Hollywood. I’ve added caps from both segments, as well as pics of Scarlett arriving at The Today Show.

You can also check out seven The Other Boleyn Girl clips at BlackFilm.com. Scarlett appears only briefly in the first clip and not at all in the fifth and seventh. You can, however, catch her in all of the other four, all worth the look! :)

I am having some issues encoding videos at the moment but click on the links below to preview all mentioned appearances.
