Keira is Done Playing 'Pirates'

Prescient. That's how I'd describe
MTV's
Q & A with
The Duchess star
Keira
Knightley about her most famous corseted role. I saw this footage
over a week ago, and at the time, it didn't hit the news radar: "Oh, Keira says
she's done with Pirates movies."
And for the record, Knightley's The Duchess is in
a few theaters across the country right now.

They should put Natalie Portman instead of keira in the Pirates movie if she doenst want to go again in the 4th episode. They are very similar and this was to happen in star wars. i think Natalie would have a great pirate spirit dont you?
Really, as the man suggests, just can the damn role altogether. We can do without either miss prissy, and if Ms Swan takes pretty boy bloom away with her, all the better.
that's her problem if she wants to quit, but disneyshould leave bloom and everyone else in. the movie'll be 10x better w/o her anyway.
Why should she come back? Her storyline's done. Plus, she's, what, 23? Who'd want their entire career to be pirate movie after pirate movie?
As it where Knightley played the decoy to Portman's Queen in Episode 1.
Either way they are both better actresses then either trilogy (Pirates or Star Wars) shows them being, I really hope they can work their way past these films.
orland o bloom no body cares about - who are you kidding orlando and keira saved potc3 the in the last 15 minutes after 2and a half hours of johhny teduim rolling his eyes and using the stupid voice ,which after sweeney todd hes sems stuck with, this was an ensemble production if disney doesnt realise that it will be a box office disapointment , the original was fluke suucess i think they are about to de fluke the franchise
I don't see why they would want Elizabeth and Will in this movie anyway. Their storyline is clearly completed. It had an ending with At World's End.
And Orlando Bloom, bless him, was truly terrible in the role. He's great to look at, and they look great together, but over the course of three movies, you never really learn anything consequential about Will... because there is no Will. There is just Orlando Bloom strutting around pretending to be dashing and calling himself Will. The character makes no impact. And Keira had to try to be one half of a pair with him... no wonder it wasn't her best role. It was difficult enough to believe her impetuous and intelligent Swann would want anything to do with a block of wood when Johnny Depp was strutting around with an actual personality.
But I digress. There's nothing more for Keira to do with Elizabeth, and she knows that. I'm glad she isn't going to stick around merely for the sake of sticking around. She has some fantastic projects coming up - I am beyond excited for King Lear, personally - and she has the rest of her barely-begun career to focus on.
OMG please dont take orlando Bloom out. if she wishes to leave thats fine i will still be getting the 4th if it comes out. if shes not in it well i will just ahev to go she the dutchess cause im a big fan of keira. STOP ARGUING ABOUT IT ITS HER DESECION
Im sorry but i cant stand this actress. Her pouting makes me want to kill myself! However, the duchess does look good and i may go and have to see it :-)
dont see the duches keiralooks like homer simpson ,as for orlando charlotte if youd sen him on the london stage a terrific performance youd change yor tune, its johnny who musnt do this his comittment to disney movies will destroy his career
I just read a review of The Dutchesss. This looks likea great movie.
I say Good Riddance... she was painful to watch at the best of times... and her role in the 3rd film was laughable at best... she's not the worst actor out there.. but she's a lousy pyrate
I say More Barbossa... as for lame Will Turner... yawnfest as well...
lets get some REAL pyrate action happening... a good ol' pyrate brawl between Jack & Hector...
and NO... pyrate is not smelled wrong...... look it up...
