Keira Just One Of Many Stars Who Struggle With Dyslexia

If your a huge KK fan than you know about Keira’s dyslexia. In a recent article, we find out how that affected her. I believe it’s from an older interview but, it’s worth posting again :)

[Orlando] Bloom is one of many famous personalities who have faced dyslexia and have gone onto be successful in their careers. Actors who have been diagnosed with the learning disorder include Tom Cruise, Patrick Dempsey and Keira Knightly.

British actor Keira Knightley faced a number of difficulties because of her learning disability. She said “I remember going in for an audition when I was eight, and it was the most excruciating experience because I couldn’t read my lines.” However, Knightley said that her desire to act helped her overcome the problems and by the time she was 11 “I had kind of overcome the dyslexia and now it’s not really a problem.”

P.S. I have struggled with dyslexia my whole life and I was really inspired to find out how many successful people have overcome it. Thats one of the many reasons I love Keira. She’s successful, beautiful, and has overcome her learning disability! She’s a true role model.

Keira Knightley’s Stalker Case Dismissed

By Dani • Filed in: Keira, Personal Life

Marek Daniluk was arrested outside the Comedy Theatre in February, where the actress was performing “The Misantrophe” charged on suspicion of harassment. You can check bellow what was decided:

A man arrested on suspicion of harassing and stalking Keira Knightley has walked free from court – the case has been dropped because of insufficient evidence.

Hopefully the guy has learned his lesson and will get on with his life. I hate these “insufficient evidence” cases. It’s like they’re saying, “No harm, no foul.” Shouldn’t they want to prevent the harm from ever happening?!

Edited: Our reader Anonymous said: It wasn’t because of insufficient evidence. The case was dropped because Keira wasn’t able to testify on any of the available court dates (because she’s working in Germany). And without her testimony the prosecutor did not think the case could be made.

Thanks for the tip! :)

Tom Jeffreys Reviews “Maze”

By Dani • Filed in: Maze, Reviews

Tom Jeffreys made a very good critic of Maze written by Stuart Pearson, you can check bellow :)

At the same time as his exhibition of paintings over at Riflemaker, Stuart Pearson Wright is also showing a new film work just a few minutes walk away, downstairs at 1 Berwick Street, Soho. The film – entitled Maze – is not your usual artist’s video piece – it co-stars Keira Knightley for a start – and it’s really rather captivating.

Maze is a two-screen work that sees the artist and Keira Knightley dressed up in full Elizabethan court regalia trying to find their way through an increasingly impenetrable Longleat maze and into each other’s arms. The film begins in bright sunlight, the hedgerows lushly green as Constance (Knightley) and Edmund (Pearson Wright) make their way with coy enthusiasm through the maze and, so they imagine, towards each other.

Two New Film Roles For Keira

By Michaella • Filed in: Articles, Projects

Keira has recently signed onto the film ‘The Dangerous Method’, which has changed it’s name from ‘The Talking Care’, according to Empire Online.

David Cronenberg’s third collaboration with Viggo Mortensen is no longer called The Talking Cure, and will henceforth be known as The Dangerous Method. Maybe the former just wasn’t sexy enough for those Universal execs. Who the hell wants to go see a movie about, like, talking?

So the movie will sport a different title from Christopher Hampton’s (Dangerous Liaisons) original play, but otherwise the song remains more or less the same: a three-hander drama about Sigmund Freud arguing with his pupil, Carl Jung, and Jung’s affair with the emotionally volatile patient Sabina.

The play sold out its 2003 London run starring Ralph Fiennes as Jung, Dominic Rowan as Freud and Jodhi May as Sabina. Cronenberg’s version will feature Mortensen as Freud (replacing Christophe Waltz at short notice), Michael Fassbender as Jung, and Keira Knightley as Sabina.

Producer Jeremy Thomas (who worked with Cronenberg on Crash and Naked Lunch) promised Deadline that the film will feature “lots of spirited sex”. Hoorah! Shooting starts next month in Germany.

According to The Guardian, Keira has been offered a role in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s ‘Tender is the Night’ which will co-star Matt Damon.

If last year’s Oscar-winning The Curious Case of Benjamin Button excised almost all trace of F Scott Fitzgerald’s short story from the final cut, fans of the celebrated author may find solace fin reports that his final novel now looks set to get the big-screen treatment.

Keira Knightley and Matt Damon are in talks to star in a new version of Tender Is the Night, according to the Padiba blog. Fitzgerald’s 1934 novel was previously filmed in 1962 with Jason Robards and Jennifer Jones as the rich but troubled couple Dick and Nicole Diver. It is set on the French Riveria, where the doctor and his wife live a seemingly idyllic existence that masks the dark heart of their relationship. The book was listed at No 28 on the 100 greatest novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library in 1998.
