New “Last Night” Still + Infos on It’s TIFF Premiere

By Michaella • Filed in: Gallery, Last Night, News, Stills

Thanks to the lovely Lier, we’ve added a brand new still from “Last Night”! Also, Keira Web posted about Last Night’s TIFF Premiere:

Last Night will close the Toronto Film Festival on September 19th, it was announced today. An official release schedule surely can’t be far off? It’s been a long time coming, but kudos to Filmyard for getting this on the slate so soon after acquiring the remains of Miramax. The article also mentions London Boulevard but it’s hard to tell if it’s just a round-up of Keira’s forthcoming movies – it doesn’t appear in the line-up. So that’s four premieres in six weeks for Keira: two at Toronto FF, one at London FF and the London Boulevard premiere somewhere in early October. -Keira Web

Carey Mulligan To Play Lead In ‘My Fair Lady’ ; Not Keira

Keira’s ‘Never Let Me Go’ co-star, Carey Mulligan is ‘set to play’ Eliza Doolittle, the lead role in ‘My Fair Lady. Keira has been rumored to be linked to the role of Eliza, but it seems that those were just rumors.

Joe Wright had at one time been rumoured to be taking the director’s chair, potentially with long-time collaborator Keira Knightley in the lead, but both now appear out of the picture.

By Michaella • Filed in: Keira, News, Personal Life

A man has appeared in court charged with harassing actress Keira Knightley.

Marek Daniluk, 41, a Polish national, of Godolphin Close, Enfield, appeared before magistrates in Westminster who set a trial date for 4 June.

He was arrested on Thursday outside the Comedy Theatre, Panton Street, London where Knightley, 24, is currently appearing in Moliere’s The Misanthrope.

It came after a woman complained to police about the behaviour of a man outside the theatre on Wednesday.

Knightley complained of being stalked by five people two years ago. It is believed to have led to her decision to move from the UK to the US.

No ‘My Fair Lady’ For Keira!!!

According to The Daily Mail:

Keira Knightley will not play Eliza Doolittle in the new movie version of My Fair Lady.
The Oscar-nominated actress, currently energising the London theatre scene with her stage debut in The Misanthrope at the Comedy Theatre, has withdrawn herself from consideration for the role created by Audrey Hepburn in the landmark film based on the Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical.
Over a period of two years, the 24-year-old star met producers Cameron Mackintosh and Duncan Kenworthy to discuss the possibility of playing the Covent Garden flower girl who becomes a Maycould fair lady after she meets Professor Henry Higgins.

Although strongly linked with the role (she had singing lessons and sang for Mackintosh), Keira was never officially offered the part. She is believed to have felt that the project was taking too long to get off the ground.

Keira’s New Role: From Play To Film

By Michaella • Filed in: Articles, Gossip, Keira, News

According to the guardian.co.uk, Keira is to star in the film production of “The Talking Cure”. No word yet on the truth of this, but we will keep you updated.

Keira Knightley is to take the lead in David Cronenberg’s first film in three years, reports the Playlist blog.

The Talking Cure, based on the Christopher Hampton play of the same name, will star Knightley as Sabina Spielrein, a Russian-Jewish psychiatric patient, who is said to have inspired some of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud’s most remarkable discoveries. Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender – who both featured in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds – are set to co-star, with Waltz as Freud, and Fassbender as Jung.

Hampton’s play focuses on the relationship between Spielrein and Jung, when he was treating her at the Burghölzli mental hospital near Zurich in 1904. Jung used Freudian techniques to try and overcome Spielrein’s association of paternal punishment with physical arousal.

Did Keira Pose Nude For A Painting?

By Michaella • Filed in: Gossip, Keira, News

This is the second nude portrai for Ms. Knightley. Keira first posed nude for Vanity Fair Magazine in 2006 with actress Scarlett Johansson and designer Tom Ford. This hasn’t been confirmed by Keira, so think of this as a rumor until otherwise stated.

Keira Knightley has posed nude for a painted portrait.

Actress Keira Knightley posed naked for a portrait by painter Mitch Griffith, and has reportedly been attending sittings at London’s Halcyon Gallery for a new exhibition.

A source said: “It’s considered a great honour to be painted by Mitch. He is a highly respected nude painter and is painting as number of subjects for a new exhibition next year. He is delighted Keira decided to take part.”

The 24-year-old actress – who is widely considered to be one of Hollywood’s most beautiful women – previously posed nude for the cover of Vanity Fair in 2006 with actress Scarlett Johansson and designer Tom Ford.

Keira is currently starring in play The Misanthrope, which is running in London’s West End theatre district.

In the production, a modern-day version of Moliere’s 17th Century comedy work, Keira plays a vacuous Hollywood starlet.
