Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend in The Young Victoria

Check out the trailer and some pictures from THE YOUNG VICTORIA starring Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, Paul Bettany, Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent, Mark Strong, Thomas Kretschmann, Harriet Walter, and directed by Jean-Marc Vallée.

The Young Victoria is part of the Gala Presentations lineup at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.

This sounds like the Victoria version of the movie Elizabeth. But I do like Emily Blunt and a lot of the cast as well, plus the trailer looks good. I might give it a shot.

In the meantime, if you’re at the Toronto Film Festival, you’ll have a chance to check it out there in September.

The Young Victoria Synopsis: The Young Victoria is set in the period from 1836, the year before Victoria ascended the throne, to 1840, the year she married Prince Albert, and revises the widely held picture of Queen Victoria as an elderly widow dressed in black. In addition to being a love story and family drama, the film explores the idea of instant celebrity – one minute Victoria is living under virtual house arrest, the next she is the most famous woman in the world.
