Cate Blanchett @ Rome Film Festival

Cate Blanchett joins costar Geoffrey Rush and director Shekhar Kapur at a photocall promoting their upcoming film Elizabeth: The Golden Age‘ during day 2 of the 2007 Rome Film Festival on Friday in Rome, Italy.

Bottom line for Elizabeth: Golden Age: “Cate Blanchett is gorgeous, and so is the cinematography, it doesn’t come close to the 1998 originator.”

When recently asked what she looks for in roles, Cate said, “It’s rarely the character actually. It’s the components like who is directing, what other actors are in it. And increasingly with the children (she has two young sons) it’s the timing.”
