Elizabeth: The Golden Age Poster
If you have ever wondered what a five-minute trailer would look like, look no farther with Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
Extended Trailer: Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Though Yahoo! Movies claims that the five-minute, extended preview for Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a featurette, I know a trailer when I see a trailer. Sure, this preview features the most dialogue ever to be seen in a trailer, hence why I have already called Guinness. Thanks to its length, the new preview also gives audiences quite the timeline of what to expect from the second Elizabeth installment.
Can I call it spoilertastic? Nah, as it only sets up the film's premise and provides some buildup to the oncoming battle. Is the sea battle going to be huge? Hard to say, as all of the film's trailers seem to avoid giving any extended sequences from the suggested sea battle.
The trailer also serves as a strong marketing tool for Clive Owen, who plays the uber-charming Sir Walter Raleigh. I haven't opened up a history book since college, but something tells me he is more than just eye-candy for the ladies.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age opens to theaters on October 12th.
