Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman: Sister Act

The Today Show studios got a special treat this morning as Scarlett Johansson showed up to do a little press for her upcoming film.

Joined by co-star Natalie Portman, the “In Good Company” actress chatted about “The Other Boleyn Girl,” slated to open February 29th.

Johansson confessed, “I came to the project originally because Natalie was attached to it and I desperately wanted to work with her. I’d been a fan for so long and how many opportunities do you have?”

Portman gushed, “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.”

With the mutual admiration society contained within, “The Other Boleyn Girl” is definitely worth a try.
