If you haven't heard the buzz about the new movie The Young Victoria you have to have been living under a rock. The usual tale told of Queen Victoria is of the dowdy older woman who was perpetually in mourning. This is not that Victoria. This Victoria is young, in love, and new to her crown. Emily Blunt (from The Devil Wears Prada fame) plays Victoria, while Rupert Friend plays Prince Albert. From the reviews I have read so far the movie is fairly close to real life - and Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson was one of the producers.
For those of us in the United States, The Young Victoria opens to limited theatres on this Friday - December 18, 2009 then to a wider audience. I am so jealous of all of you who live overseas and have been able to see the movie already. If any one gets to see the movie during this limited release, please drop a comment and let me/us know what you think.
For those of us that have to wait - take some time to check out this interview with Sarah, Duchess of York about the movie.

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about this movie! Alas, I have to wait for it to come out in wider release. Not sure I can wait that long...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Can't wait to see this one! Got two movies on the list already! This and the new Robin Hood with Russell Crowe!
ReplyDeleteI saw this back in October at the Vancouver International Film Festival. I really enjoyed it! I rate it 4/5 stars. I would have liked more details on her life and reign.
