Tana said Firebrand is not a “romanticized’ film about a royal marriage. However, the title was changed to Firebrand to avoid confusion with popular Netflix drama The Queen’s Gambit, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy as a chess master. The movie, filmed on location in the Derbyshire region of the UK’s Peak District, is based on Elizabeth Fremantle’s gripping, bestselling historical novel Queen’s Gambit, about how Katherine strategized to survive. When you’re told, ‘You’re marrying the king,’ you don’t say ‘no,’ and you have to make the most of it, which is what she did, for as long as she could.” Tana told us that Katherine had “no choice but to marry him - that was the way of the world then. “Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived” is the famous rhyme associated with Henry’s six wives - Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jayne Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Katherine - and Henry’s shocking behavior is a prevalent theme in Firebrand.
