Reprising the roles they originated in seven-time Academy
AwardŽ-nominated Elizabeth, Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush return for a
gripping historical thriller laced with treachery and romance--The Golden Age.
Joining them in the epic is Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh, a dashing seafarer
and newfound temptation for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age finds Queen Elizabeth I (OscarŽ-winner Cate Blanchett)
facing bloodlust for her throne and familial betrayal. Growing keenly aware of
the changing religious and political tides of late 16th century Europe,
Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish King Philip II (Jordi
Molla)--with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada--determined to restore
England to Catholicism.
Preparing to go to war to defend her empire, Elizabeth struggles to balance
ancient royal duties with an unexpected vulnerability in her love for Raleigh.
But he remains forbidden for a queen who has sworn body and soul to her country.
Unable and unwilling to pursue her love, Elizabeth encourages her favorite
lady-in-waiting, Bess (Abbie Cornish), to befriend Raleigh to keep him near. But
this strategy forces Elizabeth to observe their growing intimacy.
As she charts her course abroad, her trusted advisor, Sir Francis Walsingham
(Academy AwardŽ winner Geoffrey Rush), continues his masterful puppetry of
Elizabeth's court at home--and her campaign to solidify absolute power. Through
an intricate spy network, Walsingham uncovers an assassination plot that could
topple the throne. But as he unmasks traitors that may include Elizabeth's own
cousin Mary Stuart (Samantha Morton), he unknowingly sets England up for
destruction.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age tells the thrilling tale of an era...the story of one
woman's crusade to control love, crush enemies and secure her position as a
beloved icon of the western world.
Please note: the photos by Garfeimao were taken without tripod with
available light. I've worked to size them to a point where the costume
details show best. If you are having trouble with the clarity, size
smaller.
