The Queen With Helen Mirren On DVD April 24th
The Queenâs royal court of bonus features includes a
âMaking of The Queenâ featurette plus feature-length commentary
from helmer Stephen Frears, writer Peter Morgan, and British historian/Royal
Expert and author of âMajesty,â Robert Lacey.
Acclaimed director Stephen Frears (Mrs. Henderson Presents, Dirty
Pretty Things, Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters) pulls back the curtain
on the private chambers of the royal family in the aftermath of Princess
Dianaâs death in 1997, where the contained, traditional world of the Queen
of England (Helen Mirren) is brought into conflict with the public, modern
Prime Minister (Michael Sheen) and a nation looking to its leaders for
guidance in dark times. Dramatic and revealing, the story of The Queen
was drawn from extensive interviews, research, discreet sources and informed imagination.
The Queenâs aristocratic cabinet includes Helen Mirren (Gosford Park, The Madness
of King George), rising British star Michael Sheen
(Kingdom of Heaven, Laws of Attraction, Mary Reilly) and James Cromwell
(Babe, The Green Mile, L.A. Confidential).
