Young Actress Keira Knightley

I know what many people will comment on when I write this but Audrey Hepburn is one of the most beautiful and graceful actresses Keira Knightley have ever had the pleasure of watching in films, Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my favorite films of all time. Another one of her classics is the film adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe’s musical, My Fair Lady.

The remake was announced back in 2008 with Kiera Knightley attached along with her Love Actually producer Duncan Kenworthy. Now Knightley’s Pride and Prejudice director Joe Wright is attached and she is back attached to the project once having her name removed for Scarlett Johanson.

Daily Telegraph reports Knightley will star in the remake in which Johansson was up for the lead role the site reported that Wright has come on to direct and it seems that Wright has gone with Knightley, who he directed in Pride & Prejudice, to star.

While it’s being called a remake, the film will use the tuner’s score and retain its 1912 setting. Where possible, young actress Kenworthy and Mackintosh intend to shoot the film on location in the original London settings of Covent Garden, Drury Lane, Tottenham Court Road, Wimpole Street and the Ascot racecourse. (The 1964 Warner Bros. film was lensed entirely on Hollywood soundstages.)

The filmmakers plan to adapt Alan Jay Lerner’s book more fully for the screen by drawing additional material from skin care George Bernard Shaw’s play “Pygmalion,” which served as the source material for the musical. The goal is to dramatize the emotional highs and lows of Doolittle as she undergoes the ultimate metamorphosis under the tutelage of Professor Henry Higgins.
