Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett returns to her star-making role from Working Title Films’ seven-time Oscar-nominated 1998 film Elizabeth. She is reunited with her collaborators from the worldwide crossover hit—Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush and Golden Globe- and BAFTA-nominated director Shekhar Kapur—in this gripping historical drama laced with treachery and romance: Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Signing on to the new epic is Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Clive Owen (Children of Men) as Sir Walter Raleigh, a dashing seafarer in whom Elizabeth finds newfound temptation.
It is 1585 and, having reigned over England for nearly three decades, Queen Elizabeth I (Blanchett) continues to face bloodlust for her throne and the lingering threat of familial betrayal. A channel away, a destructive wind of fundamentalist Catholicism blows across 16th century Europe, with Spain’s Philip II (Jordi Molla of Sultanes del Sur), its figurehead.
