Keira Knightley in a period film? NO WAY.

The master of body horror turns his transformative talents to the mind in this story of sex, neurosis and academic one-upmanship. Michael Fassbender makes founding analytic psychology look as easy as falling off a log (which probably subliminally represents the penis), and – gasp! – Keira Knightley’s actually quite good. Analyse THAT, Viggo.

Period drama has been done and overdone; often stuffy, soppy and starring Keira Knightley playing the same role (with her eyebrows and little else). Thankfully, Cary Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre manages to avoid these period pitfalls.

So many actresses… and you chose Keira Knightley.

Watch Last Night if you enjoy long moody shots interspersed with sporadic choppy cuts, endless cigarettes used as shorthand for INNER TURMOIL, and Keira Knightley’s chin taking all the limelight away from Guillaume ‘what on earth am I doing in this awful film?’ Canet. Crucially, do not watch it if you dislike insipid tripe.

Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley are amongst the actresses being considered for one of two new roles in The Dark Knight Rises.

Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, Let Me Go is a strange, slightly unreal story set in a dystopian Britian. However, seeing as it stars Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan, it is also a sure-fire box office smash. The team released their first trailer today, giving us a peek into the dark, unbalanced and slightly unnerving world of Ishiguro and director Mark Nomanek (of One Hour Photo).

Well, that’s a rather interesting change of direction. Earlier in the year we reported that Emma Thompson was writing a re-make of the Audrey Hetburn classic My Fair Lady, but back then the front runner for the main role was Keira Knightley. It seems like since then it’s been all change, and now the lucky lady is non other than Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan. And the world can let out a sigh of relief.

Apparently the sultry star of Nine (well, potential Best Supporting Actress anyway) is in negotiations to join Pitt on his latest cruise around the Caribbean. The two have worked together before in the heartbreaking memoir Blow so it’s safe to say that there’s be no lack of chemistry on-board. Swapping Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom for Penelope Cruz? It’s a bit like swapping an old button and a bit of a playing card for 20 quid.

We all heard the news a few months ago, a film remake (yawn) of My Fair Lady, directed by Joe Wright- the man who brought us Keira Knightley being all big-chinny in Pride and Prejudice and Keira Knightley playing ‘my chin is quite sad’ in Atonement. But wait! Today it’s been announced that this whole Joe Wright palava is one big porky.
