Keira Knightley and Director Joe Wright Confirmed For The Remake of MY FAIR LADY
Collider —
... Flash forward to two days ago when the self-same Telegraph reporter proudly proclaimed “Keira Knightley beats Scarlett Johansson to be My Fair Lady!” What a relief, eh? Seriously, I have no doubt that Scarlett’s name was mentioned (she’s on the short list for every movie that features a woman aged 16-36) but when you already have an A-list actress who would only need ONE dialect coach to learn the role, starting some kind of puffed up cat fight over the part smacks a bit of manufactured publicity. ...

[image] The remake pain falls mainly on the brain. Keira Knightley has signed on to play Eliza Doolittle in a remake of My Fair Lady (itself a remake of The Taming of the Shrew , but who's counting?), the classic musical about a saucy lower class wench who learns the ways of the posh from snobby Professor Henry Higgins. According to the Telegraph it was between her and Scarlett Johansson, but Keira's been taking singing lessons for a year and a half and Scarlett has a couple of albums of proof that she can't sing. The remake is being directed by Joe Wright, who directed ...

... LADY.
Emma Thompson (PRIDE & PREJUDICE and SENSE AND SENSIBILITY) has already written the script that has been said to be a more “realistic” take on the story. Don’t worry though, for the original score is said to be kept in tact. So, until we have more news on this project to share with you all, go pop in your copy of the original, and sing along with the beautiful Audrey Hepburn. “All I want is a room somewhere…”

Keira Knightley is MY FAIR LADY
We Are Movie Geeks —
... Knightley apparently had to fight for the role, but ultimately fit the bill. She’d already begun taking singing lessons last year around the time she auditioned. The script is being written by Emma Thompson and word is that Daniel Craig is being considered as a possible candidate for playing Professor Henry Higgins… yeah, that was my reaction as well. Nothing against Craig. He’s great in what he does, but not what I pictured for this role.

Knightley & Wright Reunite for My Fair Lady Remake
Row Three —
... For this fan, my money was always on Knightley who, I believe, is a much more talented actress than Johansson (though to give Scar Jo a little credit, she does have an album of Tom Waits covers. That doesn’t necessarily mean she can sing but someone out there thinks she has some talent) but alas, I’m not making the casting choices. In the end, the coveted lead role has gone to Knightley.
