Keira Knightley has some pretty big lace-up Victorian boots to fill, with the Atonement actress reportedly in talks to star in the remake of the iconic My Fair Lady, Variety reports.
The musical film made famous by iconic British actress Audrey Hepburn will retain the original score and is slated to be shot on location in London.
Columbia Pictures copresident Doug Belgrad said of the venture, “This update will preserve the magic of the musical while fleshing out the characters and bringing 1912 London to life in an authentic and exciting way.”
Hmmm. 1912 London? Not sure that will fly with today’s kids, but someone over at Columbia Pictures must have liked what they heard. On with the show!
Remake?? Awesome! I loved Audrey and Keira would do great too.
oh god…. is she gonna sing
she has the most chiseled jaw ever. she looks good in these pics.
i wonder if this is really going to happen
So lovely. Want to touch the hienie…
Oh dear…I love Keira, but thats a classic movie. You can’t ever capture the same magic of a timeless original. I shall see it either way.
i wonder if she’s going to sing…and she does too many period films…pirates, atonement, pride and prejudice, king arthur…i feel a bit sad for knowing that many
