    I agree with marcusx about keira, she dose seem to play the same character over and over again. So lets hope they don't destroy a classic.

    keira needs to something that shows she has range. everything she does is like the same sh*t. she is either some royalty who converts to being rebellious or she does something with a king in it. that being said, i doubt this will expand her as an actress, but it will be good to see another movie with sir anthony hopkins. everything he does is worth seeing at least once. and what is paltrow doing???? get to work on iron man 2 bitch!

    With Anothony Hopkins this film should be very good. Keira Knightley may do alright, maybe she will learn how to close her mouth (if you don't know what I mean, look at a movie cover with her on it or watch a film where she is just standing there for a while.) She never shuts her lips.
