This film, written by Beau Willimon (The Ides of March), looks like a truly exciting project. To me, The Crown proves there is still an audience for entertainment that take place in the distant past such as this. Two Best Actress nominees in big roles can really only help this become quite a hit. This is a very exciting project, and based on the intrigue generated from the still images above, I am definitely rooting for this film and anxiously waiting for my chance to see it. I am confident that Universal and Focus Features have something special on their hands.

That budget cant be real.

[Wonder Midget]

Just for once, even though it's not historically accurate, I'd like to see Mary kick Old Queen Bess's ass.

Margot Robbie is competing with Oscar Isaac to see who can star in just about every movie being made right now.

I will never complain about more Oscar Isaac. Can take or leave Margot.

For once they got t he age of Mary right;She was only a teenager when she took the throne of Scotland.

And I give Robbie some credit for being willing to sacrifice her good looks to be an accurate Elizabeth.

And Aussie actresses have had some success In playing England's greatest Queen: I give you Cate Blanchette.

For real though how long is Sersh going to be cast as teens? Would hate for her to be Andrew Garfield'd or Tobey Maguire'd

I guess for as long as she can pull it off.

 

She has always looked younger than her age, I was shocked to learn she was about 17 in Hanna, I thought 13, maybe 14.

I get the feeling the film is going to take place across many years. Mary and Lizzie had their tangles for quite a few years (with the final 20 years being Mary imprisoned by Elizabeth)

Unless plastic surgery, botox, collagen and high tech make up artists were available during that span it wouldn't make a difference to Queen Liz.

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

Didn't we see Margot on set with the "after" look? So the movie is probably playing up Elizabeth's "before" appearance a bit to show what smallpox could do to someone's appearance.

ANybody remember Monty Python's "The Death Of Mary Queen Of Scots"? skit?

[dudalb]

For all the attention being paid to Robbie, the real interesting thing about this film is,for the first time, they actually got the age of Mary right....
