Knightley not a Fair Lady

A remake of My Fair Lady has been in the works for awhile, within the realms of pre-production for awhile that could at times speculate the notion of ‘development hell’. While it might not be that far into despair, the film came back into light again as Keira Knightley denied rumors that she would be taking on the role made popular by Audrey Hepburn. “She is believed to have felt that the project was taking too long to get off the ground,” said The Daily Mail, who in fact broke news of this denial.

Now the rumor mill is fluttering about that An Education star Carey Mulligan could be next to take on the role. Production is slated to start up later on this year with Proof director John Madden helming the feature. My Fair Lady is attached with CBS Films and Toledo Productions, all with Columbia Pictures set up for distribution with no set release date.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
