Holy shit does this look great. October '07 can't come fast enough.

Looks awesome. Hopefully the battle scenes are more than a sidenote though; would love to see a "Horatio Hornblower Miniseries"-sized battle done by Hollywood.

Looks great, I never saw the first movie. The trailer has made me to go and Netflix it! Thanks for the heads up.

Nice. It is also coincidental that Elizabeth is next in the queue for me to watch.

Giantrobo

I didn't know Clive Owen is in it. I'm really looking forward to this.

"Elizabeth" is one of my Top 5 favorite movies ever. Which is why I'm so looking forward to "The Golden Age". It's the same director too, which is always a bonus.

Looks good, but anybody looking for an action-packed war movie is going to be disappointed.

Can't wait for this. Maybe this time around they'll give Blanchett the Oscar she unquestionably should have won for Elizabeth.

Premise

I had a chance to see this movie about two months ago. I was in the first audience ever to see the completed film. Hopefully they went back and reworked the the film a bit. Although great acting, the story had a slow beginning with a fast ending. It ends right after the defeat of the Spanish. IMHO, the first film was much better.

Very Cool. The first was a favorite of mine. I'd love to see more told of the story, though I suspect it'll be next to impossible to meet the standard of the first.

Daytripper

Wow, tell us more. Was this a test screening and if so, did you mark on your card you that the beginning was too slow? Based on the version you saw, do you think it's Oscar worthy? (Picture, Director, Actress). I'm there opening day, first show. Visually, the trailer looks stunning for this.

looks pretty sweet. i will have to check out the first movie first though.

Premise

Obviously the acting was good, and I think the entire budget was for costumes. Clive Owen, I think was the weak link. Next to to Cate and Geoffery, he couldn't hold his own. There was cgi used for the boat battle which wasn't the greatest, but should suffice. Any fan of the first should be pleased, although there's just something about it that didn't captivate as the first did. Like I said, it's been a few months, and they may have went back and reworked things per the audience suggestions. I think I would prefer Elizabeth I, which covers much of the same ground as this film does.

I hope this plays at the Toronto Film Festival like the first one so I can see it a month early! Just give Cate the Oscar already.

GrimTangent

I haven't seen the first either, but this trailer is absolutely amazing I think. Does anyone know what the background music is? It sounds extremely familiar.

Daytripper

Thanks for the info. As I mentioned, I'm a huge fan of the first so I think I'll be very pleased. Even if it's half as good as that. And the trailer looks pretty amazing so I'm there opening day. I hope it's successful and gets plenty of Oscar recognition.

Newer and extended trailer in the theaters now. Saw it before "Hairspray" last night. A few people actually applauded after the trailer. It does look great.

Goldberg74

Wow!

I'm quite surprised that no one has said: "If its not R I'm not going to see it. The first Elizabeth was R and so should the sequel." But I guess this board has gotten over that.

Anyways, I saw the trailer before Hairspray last night, and it looks like it's got the makings of being something great.

Patman

This was a riveting trailer that made me wish the fall was here already.

Wasn't showing up using that Yahoo link...here's the link to the trailer on MSN:

OK, that looks amazing! Loved "Elizabeth" and by all accounts, this looks to at least equal the greatness of the first feature.

Daytripper

That's because it's the same crew as the first film. Thank GOD! Including the director. I'm so anxious to see this. Looking at all the future releases for 2007, and everything released up until now, surely Cate will get another Best Actress nomination. And the only competition I've seen so far, is the actress in "La Vie En Rose".

riley_dude

Hopefully Cate won't be up against someone like Gwenth Paltrow this year if she is nominated.
I still think she was robbed that year.

Daytripper

Shit! Good eye. I didn't even spot the PG-13 rating before the trailer. Saw it again last night in the theater. Hmmm, does it matter? I've seen "Elizabeth" a gazillion times and I swear besides the one sex scene with the Duke of Norfolk and that girl (which didn't *really* show anything), and the "soft" sex scene through the veil between Elizabeth and Robert (which only showed Cate's breast very briefly), I don't know why the original was rated R in the first place. Sure, they showed some heads on sticks after beheadings, but they didn't actually show the act. Anyway, I don't have a problem with the PG-13 rating. The movie looks AMAZING.

I really enjoyed the first one when I saw it in theaters.

What was really funny was I was in my mid to late 20s when it came out. The teenager at the movie theater wondered why someone younger would want to see a movie that no one but senior citizens were buying tickets for.

I am looking forward to this one. I've always been a fan of English literature and history and have taken literature humanities courses when I was in college.
