Keira's 'Last Night' Makes Next Move

DateTuesday, November 4, 2008 at 2:04AM
Keira Knightley is aware that it's the 21st century, and to prove it, the radiant star of such period dramas as Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, and The Duchess, is starring in Last Night, which centers on a married couple (Keira and Sam Worthington) who spend a night apart and are tempted by external forces. He's on a business trip with a colleague (Eva Mendes) and she bumps into an old boyfriend (Guilliaume Canet).

This story is more than a cheap excuse to publish another photo of Knightley to improve our property values, although I'll be the first to admit that it is a pretty valid excuse. And enjoy the pic. There is news about this movie, however.

It's looking more and more like Miramax will acquire distribution rights for the film, the rookie effort for screenwriter Massy Tadjedin. The studio is in the "low seven figures" ballpark to take over distribution duties on the film, according to Variety. Miramax would also work the film in a few territories in the international market, including South Africa, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, and the United Kingdom, where Knightley does most of her damage as a box office star.

But she won't stay grounded in the present for long: Knightley will soon play Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald in The Beautiful and the Damned and is part of a very impressive ensemble for a new version of King Lear.
