Now this is interesting.
According to today's Variety, Cate Blanchett has dotted her i's and crossed her t's to reprise her role as Queen Elizabeth I in the "Elizabeth" follow-up, "The Golden Age", but the actress tells a different story in an interview with today's Herald Sun in Australia.
Blanchett essentially says she's not interested in repeating herself, and that a sequel to "Elizabeth" isn't really necessary.
"No, everyone keeps asking me that. I'm really good friends with Shekhar [Kapur] and he's forever saying he's going to do this movie or that movie and I think there was talk about it", she explains. "There's so much there if it were to happen, but my initial instinct is, why?".
The trades stated today that the sequel would co-star Geoffrey Rush and Clive Owen, and start filming in April. Guess we'll wait and see though, right? Sounds like someone's going to have to wave a freshly-printed roll of Ben's in-front of Ms Blanchett.
