While DOMINO wasn't exactly a fantastic movie, it's certainly the kind of movie I'd rather see Keira Knightley doing. Kick some ass KK! But instead of seeing bad-ass Keira, we'll get period drama Keira as she's signed on to her fifth period piece in a row. Knightley has signed on to star in THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE DAMNED, which is based on a love story between writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre. Following period turns in ATONEMENT, SILK, THE EDGE OF LOVE and THE DUCHESS, Knightley would star as Sayre, the schizophrenic author who fell in love with Scott only to have their marriage devolve into jealousy, resentment and acrimony. The film is based on the novel written by Scott, which was a thinly veiled tale of his relationship with Sayre. Nick Cassavetes (THE NOTEBOOK) will direct the film based on a screenplay for Hanna Weg. Filming is scheduled to begin in April.

actually guys, Wanted didnt suck it was stupid, there is a difference. it would have sucked if it failed to do what it was meant to do, but it succeeded in being a stupid f/x driven action movie with a horrible plot but a sexy Angelina Jolie. and Keira can do whatever she wants, she is a good actress even if no one watches her films anymore. of course she could do action movies but not before...

Domino Vs. Mathilda
I think Keira's next movie should be Domino Vs. Mathilda. Mathilda being Natalie Portman's character from Leon: The Professional. Portman would have grown up to become an assassin like Leon, and Keira would be the bounty hunter hired to track her down.



Would any of you NOT pay to see Keira and Natalie fighting each other?



It would obviously need a good script and...

It would obviously need a good script and a good director, and I'm sure the two main actresses would give excellent performances and would be awesome on screen together.

I like Keira, I really do, but I can't help but resent all of her period films for one simple reason: before the 1960s, she would NEVER have been considered even a little beautiful, because of her dramatically low weight. She'd work in a film about Warhol, but doesn't fit into any standards of beauty before that. It, well, pisses me off.

Amen to her playing Catwoman--



Plus, BAD is a fantastic book and not the 'corset and powdered wig' period nonsense we're accustomed to from her. I think this is glorious news.

Well, whatever. She's good at what she does, so she might as well do the genre to death and move on once she gets sick of it.



And Creasy, I'm not sure I'd call Domino a masterpiece, but it is a sadly underappreciated movie.



...True story about Wanted sucking though.

Glad to see someone else hated Wanted too! I always thought Keira Knightley should play Catwoman in Batman 3.

"DOMINO wasn't exactly a fantastic movie"

True, it was an art masterpiece.



"Keira should star in the WANTED sequel."

There shouldn't be a Wanted sequel (worst movie this year so far).
