March 8, 2010 - Anonymous / cast revealed
Scooped on Tuesday, March 9, 2010
While being interviewed with Empire, Roland Emmerich revealed some of the casting that's been done on Anonymous. "We have Vanessa Redgrave as Queen Elizabeth; David Thewlis as William Cecil, old and young; and Rhys Ifans as The Earl Of Oxford. It’s a true English cast and I’m really proud of it. There’s 12 main characters and 20 or 30 other characters, and each of the characters is really good."
The director also spoke as to how he would describe the film's story. "It's a mix of a lot of things: it’s an historical thriller because it's about who will succeed Queen Elizabeth and the struggle of the people who want to have a hand in it. It's the Tudors on one side and the Cecils on the other, and in between [the two] is the Queen. Through that story we tell how the plays written by the Earl of Oxford ended up labelled 'William Shakespeare'."
