BBC News has published another article with further details regarding the Boleyn Girl re-shoots at Ely Cathedral in England.

Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman are among the Hollywood stars who are to film at Ely Cathedral.

The landmark called The Ship of the Fens is to be used as a location for the film The Other Boleyn Girl.

The film, based on the novel by Philippa Gregory, also stars actors Kirstin Scott Thomas and Eric Bana.

Filming will take place on 28, 29 and 30 August. Both the cathedral and the Stained Glass Museum will be closed during these three days.

A new The Other Boleyn Girl still was published in the latest issue of Elle magazine. I’ve added it to our gallery. Credit for the pic goes out to NataliePortman.com. Thanks to Titooy, I’ve replaced the rare My Brother the Pig stills with HQs. I’ve also added an old photoshoot in the gallery, outtakes from Teen People (1998), which see Scarlett with Jessica Biel and Kirsten Dunst. Be sure to log in to view this set.

Last but not least, the press archive has finally been updated with new items, including new The Nanny Diaries related articles. More interviews and articles will be added soon!

“For Annie, New York is just a hop across the Hudson River; it’s not like she’s from a small farming community in the Midwest, wide-eyed at these stunning material things,” says Johansson. “She reads fashion magazines, and is aware of this world. I didn’t want it to seem like she’s coming from complete innocence, didn’t want her to seem dewy-eyed. She’s sort of amused by all this extravagance, and sort of loves living, briefly, in this lap of luxury.

“But there’s another aspect, which is the women Annie meets who are also caretakers,” she adds, “who are really touching characters and who show a different side to this life. And in showing all these sides, the movie is a real love letter to New York. I hope that comes across.

Hollywood glamour is heading for Ely Cathedral. The world-famous landmark will be used as a location for a “major sequence” in The Other Boleyn Girl, starring Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kirsten Scott Thomas.

Producers contacted by the News refused to confirm which actors will be on set for filming, which is expected to commence on August 28 for three days. But they said they will be working on an important sequence for the film.

The Other Boleyn Girl, a BBC Films Production, is about the power struggles, rivalries and strained loyalty between Anne and Mary Boleyn. The film has been developed for the big screen by BBC Films after the success of the TV film of the same name, which was shown in 2003.

According to Box Office Mojo The Other Boleyn Girl has unfortunately been delayed from December 21, 2007 to February 29, 2008.

Wow; Scarlett, Natalie Portman and Eric Bana grace the cover of The Other Boleyn Girl novel by Philippa Gregory and the image is gorgeous! One can assume this will also be the post for the film. The edition can be bought over at Amazon. Credit goes out to NataliePortman.com for the great find!

The Other Boleyn Girl (Dec. 21)

• Players and premise
Scarlett Johansson is sweet Mary, who enjoys a dalliance with Henry VIII (Eric Bana). Natalie Portman is scheming sister Anne, who has more ambitious designs on the lusty king. Portman has hinted that her formidable co-star won’t be a total pushover.

• Upshot
The source material by Philippa Gregory and an Oscar-bait opening date suggests this is being positioned as more than just an excuse to display pouty lips and heaving bosoms.

• Heat index
“Johansson’s wide-eyed, blond innocence will be perfect as the manipulated Mary, and Portman’s steamy dark passion could well be the best Anne Boleyn ever.”

The Other Boleyn Girl has a new estimated release date – December 21, 2007. It seems like our summer 2007 will be Scarlett free – unless there will be news regarding her album.

I came across three pictures from the set of The Other Boleyn Girl taken on December 5, 2006. The images have been added to Scarlett-Photos.com.

Scarlett Johansson was driven off the the set of her new film still in costume as Anne Boleyn’s sister Mary. After a two hour break filming resumed in Dover Castle, the most haunted castle in England.

Exciting – the first production still of The Other Boleyn Girl has been released by Spanish film magazine called Fotogramas! Both Scarlett and Natalie Portman are looking wonderful in their costumes. Can’t wait to see more!

Edit: A large version has been added, thanks to DoubleT.
