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.
Backed by the Church in Rome and armed with the Inquisition, Philip—with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada—presents an imminent threat to Queen and Country… the dark and pious king is determined to wrest the Protestant “heretic” from the throne and restore England to the glory that is the Roman Catholic Church.
