So here it is, the final installment of my Q+A with Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Eric Bana. In the first, second and third parts you read about The Other Boleyn Girl, as well as the actresses' thoughts on the upcoming US elections. In this final part we talk to Scarlett about her upcoming projects, and the amiable Eric interrupts to joke around (yet again!). 
Despite earning the top spot at the box office, the predictable laughs in Will Ferrell's Semi-Pro only earned $15.3 million over the weekend. This is considered a disappointing sum, especially compared to opening weekends of other Ferrell films like Talladega Nights and Blades of Glory. Variety reports that this underwhelming performance by the basketball comedy may have been due to mediocre reviews and an R-rating. 
We're coming close to the end of my Q+A with Scarlett, Eric and Natalie – we've discussed the making of The Other Boleyn Girl, and their impressions of the UK – but in this penultimate installment the girls talk about the treatment of women both in the time the film is set and in the 21st century, and they also confirm the candidates they're backing for the US Presidential election. It's fascinating to hear the passionate responses from both Scarlett and Natalie, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed listening to them speak.
As modern women, how did you comprehend that the Boleyn girls were pretty much sold off by their father and their uncle?
Not unlike Anne Boleyn herself, the movie version of Philippa Gregory's bestselling novel The Other Boleyn Girl is both greatly ambitious and flawed. It's lovely to look at, yet unsatisfying as a film. In some ways, it seems like a video that will soon be used in history classes as one of the many ways we can view Anne Boleyn's life and death. 
Finally, the much-awaited movie The Other Boleyn Girl has arrived in theaters. Having read the book, I'm absolutely dying to see this movie, especially because it has two of my favorite actresses in the main roles, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. They play two sisters, Mary and Anne Boleyn respectively, in perhaps one of the most dramatic sibling rivalries of all time over the affections of King Henry VIII. 
Welcome back, members of the Buzz Book Club! Now that I've finished Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl, I'm excited to chat about it in its entirety. This is a fun time to wrap everything up as the movie opens this weekend as well. 
In the first part of my exciting meeting with the stars of The Other Boleyn Girl I found out about their experiences of making the movie and Eric mischievously teased Scarlett about her research attempts, which mainly revolved around reading the novel. Have you read the book, or are you about to start? If so you should definitely check out Buzz's book club – It's a great way to get even more out of it.
