as Mozzerino said, Michael Sheen was great in The Queen and should have been nominated. I am sure he will be in this and get an award or two…he should since he wasn’t nominated for The Queen and losing girlfriend Kate Beckinsale to Len Wiseman during the filming of Underworld ;)

Queen 2: Queen Harder.
Queen 2: The British Empire Strikes back.
Queen Vs. Blair: Requiem.
Queen 2: This Time Its Stuffier.

I still don’t see why everyone I know, including close friends thought this film was amazing. I think the talent was spectacular, but the movie itself was like spending two hours trying to flatten out navel lint into sewing thread. I tried to like it, I really did, but it jsut didn’t come to me.

My brother and I watched “The Queen”. Very good flick. But if some of these guys are not coming back to do the sequel… I don’t know.

I hope they do not go with the obvious title:
The Queen: Tony Blair

Yeah, it’s a very interesting concept. It’s a shame that Stephen Frears won’t be returning to direct though.

Michael Sheen gave a bloody brilliant performance in “The Queen”.
I think he got robbed for the best supporting actor at the Oscars. He didn’t even get nominated! What the hell was going on there?
He nailed Blair in an absolutely striking way and his performance was on par at least with the one of Helen Mirren.

I’m glad you agree here John, “The Queen” is a brilliant film.
Excellent performances, clever direction and a stunning score, the movie just succeeds on almost all levels.
Even if you don’t give a flying f**k about English royalty you should definitely check it out, you won’t regret it.
