There’s a video where Keira Knightley and James McAvoy interview each other at Moviefone’s Unscripted, with questions people have sent. I’ve ripped it, converted to .wmv and uploaded to the server.

From MTV:

Besides being one of the most-photographed and scrutinized women in the world not named Lindsay, Britney or Paris, Keira Knightley has something else on her side: actual, honest-to-goodness critical acclaim. Sure, she’s starred in three little pirate movies too, but at 22 years old, Knightley is already an Oscar nominee and a two-time Golden Globe lead actress contender, plus she’s got the plum role in the biggest weep-fest this side of “Titanic.”

In “Atonement,” Knightley trades stolen glances with co-star James McAvoy, as larger forces conspire to keep the would-be lovers apart. If it sounds like the kind of movie they don’t make anymore, you’re right. Knightley stopped by MTV to talk about the film, why sex scenes aren’t her favorite thing to do, and why you probably won’t see her starring opposite Will Ferrell anytime soon.

From New York Post

DESIGN house Faviana has competitors green with envy over its “must-have” Keira Knightley emerald-green gown from her new film, “Atonement.”

The couture dress, which cost tens of thousands of dollars to create, was highlighted last week in The Post’s Pulse section.

Then Knightley won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. So now the designers at Faviana are banking on selling thousands of knockoffs of the 1930s-inspired gown, to be in stores mid-January priced at $238.

I’ve added to the gallery new pictures from the behind the scenes of Keira in Atonement.
It may have spoilers.

From News Blaze:

Your character Cecilia has quite a fashion sense.
Keira Knightley: Yes, I’m sure that if you were rich back then in the ’30s, it was a very glamorous period. It was incredible clothes. I saw her incredibly clearly when I read the script, and even more so when I read the book. I think she’s a brilliantly drawn character. Not particularly nice when you first meet her at the start of the film, but I thought there was incredible humanity to her, and multiple layers to her. And the fact - and this sounds very slouchy - that she’s redeemed by love, by the sacrifice, by walking away from the family, and the rest of it. I don’t know, I just thought she was beautiful.

How would you characterize your own look, like your red carpet look vs. your street look?
KK: My red carpet look is created entirely by people other than myself! And my street look is…scruffy!
