 Cate Blanchett
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime
There is literally no grandiose wordplay in the world to describe Cate Blanchett’s presence as an actress other than unforgettable. From her Oscar-nominated breakthrough role as Queen Elizabeth I in Elizabeth to her roles in The Lord Of The Rings movies, her Oscar-winning role in The Aviator, Babel, to her Oscar-nominated role in Notes On A Scandal, Blanchett is an actress that leaves a lasting presence. Now she has gone back to the legendary role that made her famous in the sequel Elizabeth: The Golden Age. When Blanchett first discussed what made her decide to return to a role she already played once before, she mentioned of how she was approached about doing a sequel. “I think what convinced me most was time, really,” Blanchett explains, “[Director] Shekhar [Kapur], from the minute we finished the first one, was talking about not only my playing Elizabeth again, but hundreds of other ideas. And we remained friends and talked about various projects. Tim Bevan, from working ties, said, just let us work on a script and if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.

I mean, of course, I had to say yes and it was very daunting and I was a bit nervous about returning to a character, I suppose, that allowed me to walk into a door to an international film career. You don’t ever want to feel like you’re going backwards. So once I perceive that I could actually progress forward through playing it, then it became exciting to me.” Being an actress of incredible range with two Oscar nominations and one win, we asked Blanchett discussed her methodology for how she approaches her films. “I think it’s tricky, but vital as an actor working on a film that you have a sense of the third ... |
