While DOMINO wasn't exactly a fantastic movie, it's certainly the kind of movie I'd rather see Keira Knightley doing. Kick some ass KK! But instead of seeing bad-ass Keira, we'll get period drama Keira as she's signed on to her fifth period piece in a row. Knightley has signed on to star in THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE DAMNED, which is based on a love story between writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre. Following period turns in ATONEMENT, SILK, THE EDGE OF LOVE and THE DUCHESS, Knightley...

The prints of Darren Aronofsky’s new film, The Wrestler, have barely dried (or what is the digital equivalent?) and already it has won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival and is on its way, possibly, to the Peoples Choice Award at Toronto.  After the emotional and visual epic of The Fountain, the director has scaled the scope of his new film down to about as intimate as one can get (this sentence amusing in and of itself considering the subject matter is Pro Wrestling).  There are essentially three characters in the film, the stylistic tics are kept to a subtle minimum and the actors are simply allowed to perform.  At the packed public afternoon screening in Toronto, Aronofsky was on hand to introduce the film and kept his opening remarks to a minimum, saying simply all one needs to make a good film is a lens and good performers.

I walked right past the new movie poster for The Duchess tonight on my way out of a screening and, predictably, I stopped for a second. It's rather hard not to when you see Keira Knightley all dolled up in her costume from a bygone era. She may do too many period pieces, but it's hard to deny that they're what she's best suited for. She found that out pretty quickly after nobody saw Domino and The Jacket.

According to one of Keira's co-stars, Hayley Atwell, the period dress does not come without its own risks. "[Knightley] had to wear this huge wig that was so heavy they made her a board that she could lean her shoulders and head against in between takes so she didn't topple over or get neck aches." Oh, the sacrifices.

In the film, Keira plays an 18th Century aristocratic named Georgiana Cavendish, who held the title of Duchess of Devonshire.
