Cate Blanchett is to reprise her role as the Virgin Queen in a $47 million sequel to the 1998 film Elizabeth.

The film, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, will detail the Tudor monarch's tempestuous relationship with Sir Walter Raleigh and suggest Elizabeth was infatuated with the courtier and adventurer.

Clive Owen, the brooding star of Closer and Sin City, is to play Sir Walter Raleigh.

I'd say fully 80% of my memories of the original was my desire to fuck Geoffry Rush sideways.

There's a fine example of my ridiculous fixations. It's the characters he plays. I'm sure if I met him in the street, it'd be nothing at all until I demanded, "MACHINATE, DAMN YOU, MACHINATE!"

I've no icon for rolling my eyes at myself. We'll go with Neil and the Tea of Doom.

Hey, you helped inspire my new icon - thought you'd like to see!

I absolutely loved that film, her acting, and Rush. It was a true evolution of character. This post makes me happy to see her experiment further in that role. Thanks

I loved Cate in Elizabeth and Clive Owen makes me swoon. Yum indeed.

Hooray for the casting announcement! *does the happy costumegeek / Clive Owen dance*

But I bloody hope they don't have *quite* so much fun with the history, this time around... Oh, who am I kidding? At least I know to steel myself for it, now.
