It seems that Keira Knightley is the fair lady of choice for director Joe Wright. According to
Daily Telegraph actress Keira Knightley will star the remake
My Fair Lady.
Scarlett Johansson was also up for the lead role, but the site reported that Joe Wright has come on to direct, and it seems that Wright has gone with Knightley, who he directed in
Pride & Prejudice, to star. Here's a quote from an unidentified source for the site.
"Joe and Keira are looking forward to working together again immensely," says a friend of the 37-year-old director.
Wright had been previously attached to direct the film
Indian Summer, but left the project, which freed him up to direct this film.
