Movie star Cate Blanchett looks simply stunning as Queen Elizabeth, as she re-enacted the famous scene from history when Sir Walter Raleigh - played by Clive Owen - lays down his cloak over a puddle.
The scene was being shot this week at St John's College, one of Cambridge University's most beautiful colleges, which is providing the stunning backdrop for the new all-star film about the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, a sequel to the 1998 production Elizabeth.
It is being made by London-based Working Title Films, responsible for a string of British film successes, such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, and last year's Pride and Prejudice.
St John's College is doubling as buildings from Elizabeth's reign, from 1558-1603. Filming will then move to Ely Cathedral for more location shots. Studio-based filming will be at Shepperton.
The new film picks up from Elizabeth15 years on, examining the Virgin Queen's relationships with Sir Walter Raleigh and Mary Queen of Scots - played by Minority Report's Samantha Morton. It ends on the eve of the Spanish Armada.
Geoffrey Rush once again plays spymaster Sir Walter Walsingham, while Rhys Ifans plays a priest. The 1998 film also starred Cate as Queen Elizabeth and Geoffrey Rush as Walsingham.
