Check out the trailer of 'Anne Boleyn':
The official trailer for Anne Boleyn dropped last month and emphasizes the strength of Anne's character and her regal role. The clip features stunning shots of Jodie donning 16th-century wardrobes, shifting the historical perspective towards women, thus creating a unique story.
According to writer Eve Hedderwick Turner:
"We wanted to make sure the world of our Tudor court didn’t look exactly like period dramas that we’d seen in the past. As it is such a well-known period of history and Anne’s story itself has been really well covered, we wanted to make sure that it felt fresh and alive and different."
