Plus, of course, the girl from King Kong.
Interesting trio. So what is this about?
Keira Knightley, Gwenneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts will be joining Anthony Hopkins in a new version of Shakespeare's play "King Lear".
Now I must say that I'm looking forwards to this. It's got good talent- and King Lear is a wonderful, though slightly disturbing play. I just hope that they don't mess up the story by adding a bunch of sex and then go graphic on the eye-gouging and battles and earn it an R-rating...
Very interesting. I share your hopes...also would like to see Keira Knightley finally play someone besides the heroine (if you can call Cordelia that - but you know what I mean, her character is always good and smart and pretty...), but I guess this isn't that movie.
ReplyDeleteWell, she does get painted blue and bloody in "King Arthur" (now THAT was a scary sight!)
ReplyDeleteAw, rats. A few months ago IMDB said that Romola Garai would be playing Cordelia. Bleh. I knew better than to believe it, but I hoped it might be true...
ReplyDeleteActually I think she might be in the new televised version that they are doing with Ian Mckellan.
ReplyDeleteOh! Yes, that was it. Yay! Because I don't absolutely hate the idea of Keira Knightley as Cordelia.
