i love cate blanchett
Sequels suck by Some Dude	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:35:22 PM
We need more originality.
This trailer has been out ages! by Electrix	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:37:39 PM

Youre right...defintitely a bad title but... by TheRealSeveren	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:39:24 PM
I like the idea of having a possible franchise in a period setting. What wold the third flick center on I wonder?
Looks pretty spectacular. by MaxTheSilent	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:40:03 PM
They're really selling the adventure and action aspects.
Cate is teh hotness by Iowa Snot Client	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:42:03 PM
and she can act a little.
Today's boring correction: definitely by TheRealSeveren	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:42:56 PM
and proofreading's for pussies.
Subtext looks clumsy by Thomas Cromwell	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:48:20 PM
Trying to compare 16th century Spain to modern day America is plain crude. For one Spain didn't have nuclear missiles, carrier battle groups, McDonalds and Paris Hilton. Besides that would make Tudor England the same as Chavez's Venezuala, and the last thing we want is to be put in the same stable as that fat shit.
who cares by sokitome	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:55:28 PM
another movie about an aristocracy long out of power who exploited the world for their personal benefit. I'd rather see a sequal to Breakin 2: Electric Bugaloo.
She's not there by AllieJamison	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:56:29 PM
Cate Blanchett, Cate Blanchett, Cate Blanchett, Cate Blanchett, Cate Blanchett and Cate Blanchett are all... Elizabeth.
That looks unbelievable! by cuckoo's indian	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:58:21 PM
This movie's going to kick all kinds of serious ass! Hopefully, Blanchett will be redeemed for not winning Best Actress over Gwynnie last time. And it looks like Shakur is back in form after pinning me to my seat and making me scream "uncle!" from boredom as I watched "The Four Feathers". Still, I really think this guy could become one of our major filmmakers.
this looks fckin awesome... by jarodvhale	Sep 3rd, 2007 04:59:37 PM
kinda caught me off guard... clive owen rocked of course...
WHAT's the name of the song in the trailer?? by HamsterDK	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:03:49 PM
During the 2nd part!
The music that comes in halfway... by Napolean Solo	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:07:13 PM
Sounds bogus though, like Sting's gonna start singing. However, the film does look wicked. I'm there homie. Always did like that slutty family.
Call me... by Napolean Solo	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:07:51 PM
...Errol Flynn, Clive Owen doth not make!
not to be that guy... by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:08:20 PM
but I thought this looked absolutely fantastic when i saw the exact same trailer 3 months ago... just saying
HamsterDK by Napolean Solo	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:08:27 PM
You actually liked that song?
Better Trailer by vslee	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:09:58 PM
The International trailer at www.elizabeththegoldenage.com/ is better than that one. (It's a better website, too.)
the song is by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:10:38 PM
I am lincoln from the island sountrack. i liked it too
As us Catholics in Scotland like to say by Chiziola79	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:11:53 PM
Fuck the Queen :-)
Don't see that song on the track list at amazon by HamsterDK	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:14:28 PM

I am Lincoln by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:15:26 PM
i got it off of myspace music
Elizabeth does not exist in this dojo by Cobra--Kai	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:16:33 PM
'I have a hurricane in me..' got to love strong British women! This looks excellent, surprisingly so. Blanchett is one of the best actresses working today and at her best when given the lead. Makes me want to watch the first film again.
Can you provide a link to song? by HamsterDK	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:19:21 PM
I would be grateful
this should work by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:27:37 PM

It will Work by NudeandAroused	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:29:29 PM
God I love British History. Blanchett is a brilliant actor and I think Owen is perfect as Raleigh. Can't wait.
Thx alot Leafy McPlantsalot! by HamsterDK	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:31:23 PM
You've been very helpfull
Queen elizabeth would win by Leafy McPlantsalot	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:45:17 PM
She has a hurricane in her that would strip predators bare if they dared to try here. Plus she's hot and likes to disrobe in open spaces, Batman can't top that.
He probably gets pretty hot in that suit. by SilentP	Sep 3rd, 2007 05:55:45 PM
I bet he's tempted to disrobe in open spaces every once in a while.
Looks really awesome by WONKABAR	Sep 3rd, 2007 06:00:52 PM
I always kinda hoped they would do a sequel. I never thought they actually would...rad.
Samantha Morton by Series7	Sep 3rd, 2007 06:02:00 PM
What is her appeal? Why does everyone always talk about what a great actress she is? I just don't see it.
This has been online for about two weeks... by Stollentroll	Sep 3rd, 2007 06:22:28 PM
but still: great trailer
Great Trailer... by Alonzo Mosely	Sep 3rd, 2007 06:31:11 PM
Saw it months ago and it got me pumped, quite simply this looks beautiful, something to behold on the big screen... Was a big fan of the original and this looks as if it will be a match for it...
Does AICN actually break by PrettyNursePoppie	Sep 3rd, 2007 06:59:52 PM
Does AICN actually break stories anymore? I mean, this will be news to some people, but this trailer has been playing in front of "art house" movies for a month now at least. I can't vouch for the guy who saw this 3 months ago, but even if this trailer was a week old, it's too old to be COOL news, yes? Color me cynical, but you guys have fallen behind the curve in the last few years. Quit flying out to movie sets to get spoon-fed news by studio flacks, and actually start BREAKING news again.
That looks spectacular. by raw_bean	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:06:48 PM
I need to finally getting around to watching the first one. Cate Blanchett is absolutely awesome, and delivering powerful speeches she sends chills down my spine. On a related but tangential note, I'll never forgive Peter Jackson for what he had them do to her voice in the LOTR scene where Galadriel reveals her full power when tempted by the Ring. I never really liked the way that scene was handled, but once I'd heard Blanchett's original dialogue from the scene (on one of the DVD extras) before it was processed and fucked around with I couldn't believe how much more powerful, 'beautiful and terrible as the dawn' her natural voice was than the version that was used in the film.
looks almost like an action movie by Rupee88	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:29:26 PM
The first one was pure historical drama...anyway, the trailer shows too much, so I stopped it halfway.
Well they couldn't call it Elizabeth II by Anakin Whoopass	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:30:08 PM
That's Helen Mirren's schtick.
Thats looks fantastic!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:45:16 PM
Was an extra in the first one, filmed in Durham cathedral for the coronation scene. I had tights one lol. Loved the first one, and this looks amazing too. Horray!
Thanks raw_bean by Stollentroll	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:46:28 PM
That scene really kinda spoils the fun of the "Fellowship". The visuals and sound in this particular scene are so bad, I wonder why no one ever seems to criticize it.
Harry you're so fucking slow on this trailer... by wolvenom	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:48:52 PM
It was out fucking weeks ago.
HEY ALL ANYONE WANT THEIR FUCKING TRAILERS??? by wolvenom	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:50:55 PM
ANYONE WANT THEIR TRAILERS WEEKS BEFORE AICN BREAKS THE NEWS ON THEM? JUST GO TO APPLE.COM/TRAILERS. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS TRAILER WAS POSTED UP THERE FUCKING WEEKS AGO... stupid aicn
Series7 by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:52:27 PM
Regarding Samantha Morton - have you checked out her work in IN AMERICA? Or MORVERN CALLAR? Also, in the movie CODE 46 (an interesting film), there is a moment with Samantha (towards the end) that is just about one of the most daring and erotic scenes I've ever seen in a film. She is an incredibly brave actress. One whom I feel is just a step away from finding that one truly great role. I'm definitely looking forward to her portrayal of Ian Curtis's wife in CONTROL.
ALMOST over the top in a few by Wed Vid Guy	Sep 3rd, 2007 07:58:39 PM
ALMOST over the top in a few scenes but she brought it back a few small notches so it was awesome instead. This looks really good and I too need to watch the first one.
As for the trailer... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 3rd, 2007 08:02:48 PM
...looks pretty good. That outburst directed at the Spanish guy was sweet! I rather enjoyed ELIZABETH and was impressed with Blanchett's and Rush's performances. So, bring it on. I need my Blanchett fix.
TomBodet by Mr. Nice Gaius	Sep 3rd, 2007 08:04:49 PM
What's up you crazy bastard? No, she is the one playing Mary - Queen of Scots.
couldn't watch it! by FILMFUNK	Sep 3rd, 2007 08:45:33 PM
It crashes out my Internet explorer!?
Geoffrey Rush pwned the first one... by wolvenom	Sep 3rd, 2007 08:48:03 PM
he was pretty ruthless
honestly by Dollar Bird	Sep 3rd, 2007 08:57:06 PM
Cate's fisrt "Elizabeth" movies is one of my favorites, so I'm a little pumped that I have nother chance to see her and Rush playing those character's again. (I LOVED Rush's character in the last one. I like those pull-the-strings types. But not in the Ed Wood way.) I hope this is just as good; the trailer would have me believe it is. Visually, it's fantastic. I too was disappointed by "The Four Feathers" so hopefully the director gets back on his feet for this one and stays there. I'd love to see him do more movies—he's got a great eye.
blonde girl = Abbie Cornish by FlowCytometer	Sep 3rd, 2007 09:29:52 PM
up and coming Australian actress. This trailer makes me all excited about the film. I thought the first one was well done, if not a tad slow.
Elizabeth II by Osmosis Jones	Sep 3rd, 2007 10:08:07 PM
Electric Boogaloo
Helen Mirren owns this role by JackIsLost	Sep 3rd, 2007 10:16:06 PM
I like Cate and all but if you saw HBO's "Elizabeth I" you know that (in addition to being more accurate), Mirren absolutely rocked the house with her performance.
You Know 'Spanish Mains' Aren't Ships Right? by skoobyx	Sep 3rd, 2007 10:27:55 PM
It sounds like you were saying they were ships. Maybe I've misread that... Anyway, looks like a great movie.
cate's smokin but helen has a better rack. by occula	Sep 3rd, 2007 11:03:19 PM
i am a huge fan and of course will dork out over this, but this trailer seems, er, very 'pirates o' the caribbean' to me - bombastic and spastic, like they think their demographic has entirely lost its attention span. however, i fully admit i backed up the trailer and watched the 'hurricane' bit like 4 times.
Looks good by kafka07	Sep 4th, 2007 12:04:44 AM
I don't agree that Cate looks smokin, but she's a damn fine actress. The first film was very good and looking forward to this one.
Goodness. by MikeTheSpike	Sep 4th, 2007 12:59:09 AM
I'd hate to be the source whose geographical location is being hinted at because Merrick forgot to keep a backup of his email address book.
Wow, where did that come from? by Gabba-UK	Sep 4th, 2007 02:12:46 AM
I must be losing my geek-sense. Not heard a thing about this movie. Looks stunning and I too must have watched the 'Hurricane' bit about four times. That's the one thing about our nation's history and people that no-one can deny. Back us into a corner with nowhere else to go and we'll turn round, look you in the eye and fuck you over!!
Damn that Clive Owen spoils every scene he's in by theycallmemrglass	Sep 4th, 2007 04:26:40 AM
Especially when he opens his mouth. I honestly cant understand the attention he is getting. I dont hate him though I just wish he was not given starring roles. I enjoyed Children of Men the most though. This film by way looks sumptious.
I'd strip her bare if you know what I mean... by godoffireinhell	Sep 4th, 2007 04:27:30 AM
Blanchett is one of the best actresses working today and at her best giving me head.
Cate Blanchett was born to play a queen by 300spartansinhell	Sep 4th, 2007 05:01:45 AM
Even Peter Jackson didn´t manage to ruin her acting in LOTR when he made her go into witch mode with visual effects in the first film. Can´t wait to see the first pic of her in Indy 4.
Geoffrey Rush by 300spartansinhell	Sep 4th, 2007 05:11:59 AM
was awesome indeed. One of the best and most realistic assassin characters in a film. Loved the perfectly executed killings of all the opposition at the end of the film. One was sitting and shitting when he was offed.
Cate Blanchett is hot? by classyfredblassy	Sep 4th, 2007 05:38:47 AM
I guess in a "she's not fat, at least" way she is kinda of cute. For real hottness, please Google Jessica Beal. You will be rewarded. That is all
Looks gorgeous by Cat_Corporation	Sep 4th, 2007 06:42:25 AM
Count me in please! I loved Elizabeth, and think Blanchett was born to play her. She can really deliver those massive speeches, and I can't wait to see her do the 'heart and stomach' line...although I prefer the 'concrete elephant' version in Blackadder II ;)
Looks fucking brilliant. by King_Knut	Sep 4th, 2007 07:01:14 AM
A mate of mine worked on the costume department of this film and invited me along to the wrap party. No-one there seemed to think it would be anything particularly special, but this trailer's changed my opinion...
Classyfredblassy by King_Knut	Sep 4th, 2007 07:06:55 AM
How old are you?
Cate Blanchett is average looking at best by DirkD13"	Sep 4th, 2007 07:16:09 AM
I'd rather bone Maggie Gyllenhaal to be quite honest. Couldn't care less about this film.
This one tops my must see list this Fall... by Prague23	Sep 4th, 2007 07:20:38 AM
Because I frakin loved Elizabeth and saw it 45 minutes after Shakespeare In Love (both in the cinema) and Elizabeth blew my mind. So if you've got a title that's more exciting than this, in your opinion, let me know. I'm pretty aware of what's coming already though.
Samantha Morton is smokin though by DirkD13"	Sep 4th, 2007 07:22:42 AM
And you just know that she'd be a right goer in the sack. Mmmmmmmmmm, tasty thoughts.
King Butt Knut by classyfredblassy	Sep 4th, 2007 10:26:46 AM
I am 78 years young, you pencil neck geek, You mean to tell me if you had two beds side by side, with Cate Blanchett in her flannel PJs in one bed, and Jessica Beal in a silky,breast revealing nighty in the other, you would jump in bed with Cate. Son, that doesn't determine your age, that tells me you are a closet man-lover. Not that is anything wrong with that. Blassy like the chicks, though.
Blimey... by neutrino	Sep 4th, 2007 10:32:02 AM
I didn't expect The Spanish Armada!
Elizabeth was GOLDEN by Saluki	Sep 4th, 2007 10:53:58 AM
Proof that Daniel Craig was a gym rat even back then. Now we get Clive Owen? These two just need to make a movie together already.
Aint it Old News by Blue Meanie 1138	Sep 4th, 2007 11:39:59 AM
Yeah...saw this months ago. But it looks compelling. Def. on my must see list. Though I'm getting tired of actors on horseback giving rousing speeches to the troops. Otherwise, how can you top that cast?
Intellectually, I knew this already. by Jakes Nel	Sep 4th, 2007 11:51:51 AM
Sigh
More 'hotness' ratings from little rat-fart men by Sepulchrave	Sep 4th, 2007 12:43:25 PM
Jesus, listen to yourselves; there is more to a women in a film than her 'hotness'. Get back to your porn sites losers. You have to leave it to queers to notice that a woman might have something other than a cocktail waitress' body and blond hair going for her.
Oh and she may have the body of a weak and feeble woman by Sepulchrave	Sep 4th, 2007 12:44:44 PM
But she has the heart and soul...of a CONCRETE RHINOCEROS! First I'm going to have a little drinkie, and then I'm going to have the whole bally lot of you executed...
SEPULCHRAVE by abner pepper	Sep 4th, 2007 01:27:00 PM
It was an elephant.Anyway Samantha Morton is beautiful and talented.Not only do i like her i respect her as well.

LOOKS FINOOKIN GREAT!!! by football	Sep 4th, 2007 03:22:59 PM
This has the hallmark of being a very good film. Owen, Blanchett, Rush... what a great combo. Gotta agree with Kurzinski on the trailer giving me the chills. It looks both sumptuous and full of energy.
every shot looks beautiful by Ray Gamma	Sep 4th, 2007 04:01:26 PM
i hope the film is as good as the photography
HARRY ET AL DON'T GIVE A FUCK by DannyOcean01	Sep 4th, 2007 04:10:52 PM
Even Quint has whored himself out like the Quasimodo geek bitch he is. This site should be fucking closed down it's so utterly pitiful. CHUD rules, it's wittier, and wow, actually has film journalism....
looks great by ilikemovies	Sep 4th, 2007 04:21:35 PM
blanchett is amazing, and although im iffy on clive in this role...i'll take his rugged masculinity as winning half the battle. can't wait.
the important question... by J Skell	Sep 4th, 2007 04:48:06 PM
do you see her butt?
Sepulchrave, you sound like by classyfredblassy	Sep 4th, 2007 05:20:35 PM
A high school band geek who never knew the touch of a woman till one of the hags from your mom's bridge club passed out on the couch after too many gin and tonics and you got the chance to feel her up a bit.

Um, what's a Hurricane? by Goody2shoes	Sep 4th, 2007 07:03:48 PM
Hi, I'm Elizabeth I, Queen of England and right now it's the mid-late 16th century. We don't even have so much as an outpost in the New World, but not only do I know about those suckers, I know what the natives call them. I apparently know they're windy, too, cuz I used it in a sentence as a metaphor. Course, I'm just being annoyingly picky. I loved that moment in the trailer until I thought about it. Still gonna see it, it looks awesome. I know I'll wince at that part now, unless the next shot is of the Spanish Ambassador going "What's she talking about? Somebody get me de Gama and de Leon, tell them to bring me one of these hurricane thingies. Sounds like a handy thing to have"
1st Movie homaged Godafather by Hesiod2k7	Sep 4th, 2007 07:37:19 PM
The sequence at the end where the directer intercut Liz's "marriage" ceremony with rounding up and killing her enemies was straight out of the Godfather. Great movie. I will definitely see this one because I love historical epics. Plus, Cate and Geoffrey were freat in the first one and I am a big fan of Clive Owen.
"HUrricane" is a plausbile word, actually. by Hesiod2k7	Sep 4th, 2007 07:41:08 PM
http://www.takeourword.com/et_ h-j.html#hurrican "Hurricane first entered English around 1555, coming from Arawakan (natives of the West Indies) hurakan via Spanish huracan. The word took several forms in its infancy in English, including furacane, huarachana, and uracan, all of which were alterations of the Spanish and of Portuguese furacao. Hurricane became the accepted form by 1688." The bigger "objection" would be that she doesn't speak in "Elizabethan" English. But allowances must be made so that they don't have to subtitle the damn thing.
I said I was being annoyingly picky by Goody2shoes	Sep 4th, 2007 08:52:32 PM
And yes, the bigger ojection would be that no one's speaking Elizabethan english. Cryin' out loud, the movie's gonna be wrought with historical inaccuracies anyway, as any good historical drama is, I thought I'd pick on the least controversal. Plus, I was bored.
I'm hoping I'm right by oisin5199	Sep 5th, 2007 01:38:03 AM
but this may be one of the first times I've seen of the magician John Dee depicted onscreen. Which makes sense, since he was not only her astrologer, but was one of the main strategists behind the Spanish Armada battle and Raleigh's colonialization plan. Hope he calls up some angels. Can't wait to see this movie, but I definitely want my Dee and Kelley movie some day.
Goody2shoes and Hesiod2k7 - are hilarious by theycallmemrglass	Sep 5th, 2007 06:47:46 AM
Which one of you is more bored, Goody2shoes for finding something deliberately mundane to nitpick on or Hesiod2k7 for researching the history of the use of the word Hurricane in response to the most mundane nitpick which was meant as a joke. Thanks guys for the chuckle ;) Hesiod2k7 - actually that info might come in uselful for a pub quiz!
How is this like Pirates? by starlesswinter	Sep 5th, 2007 06:14:53 PM
Suddenly any historical film with ships becomes a Pirates of the Caribbean ripoff? There isn't even any fighting in the trailer; it's all drama.
