I think we'll start seeing Keira in roles that producers/writers/directors originally thought of for Natalie Portman, but because she is probably too busy or expensive to get, they will go with Keira instead... they look so much alike!! I really can't believe the resemblance. Any thoughts on this?
Nick
yeah i thought/discussed the exact same thing when i saw the Pirates trailers. however, in person, she looks nothing like natalie portman. have you seen her do interviews? they sure made her up good in potc:cotbp though.
she's nothing special.
like the estella warren craze of 2001.
She actually isn't too bad... maybe she'll end up being what Natalie Portman won't be... an actress with percieved versatility... Natalie Portman will forever be known as Amidala from Star Wars...

Keira played Natalie's/Queen Amadala's double in "Star Wars: Episode 1" because of that strong resemblance.
but no one remembers/realised cos she's nothing special.

shes got nuthin on natalie.
Yeah JB, I'll forever remember Natatlie Portman as Matilda also. Her performance wasn't impressive enough (*cough*) in Star Wars for me to really remember it.
She was in Heat too (Natalie).
I like that scene when Pacino saves her life. that was cool.
Keira Knightley has a British accent. She wins.

her too? :oops: :-D
I'll still go with Natalie Portman, because a.) she's really smart, b.) she's vegan, and c.) well, she's Natalie Portman. Kiera Knightley does have me a bit enchanted, though. And so does Rosario Dawson.
Also, just to engage in some friendly one up-manship, I started the first Kiera themed thread way back here: http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=1194. Every now and then, I manage to be way ahead of a trend...

a.) kiera is hot
b.) who cares what she eats
c.) and she's NOT natalie portman
hrm... we all have our tastes... :P
Nick
a friend of a friend met Portman at Harvard and said she was a bitch. She's cocky and arrogant.
therefore, I take Keira. I think Keira is a little more hot than Natalie also.
If you can go to this site http://www.surprisesomeone.com/thumbnails_female.htm?name=kKnightley and this one http://www.dailygame.net/news/archives/000826.html
and tell me that she is NOT hot, then you are not a member of the human race.
Yeah, I'd have to say I am a bit entranced by Keira too.
it's this (http://www.imdb.com/EGallery?source=granitz&group=2030&photo=Events/2030/KeiraKnigh_Grani_1246482_400.jpg&path=pgallery&path_key=Knightley,%20Keira)

Keira.
Although there was reports that singers Mariah Carey and Pink were being looked into for playing the next female role in the upcoming new James Bond film, LDJW Films can exclusively reveal Brit star Keira Knightley is being looked at for the major female role in the upcoming 21st Bond film which is due for release in 2005. Apparently Knightley came about after Bond producers ended talks with Clive Owen who she co-stars with in the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer produced "King Arthur". Owen is the first contender to the Bond role after Pierce (Brosnan) leaves the series after the making of Bond 21. Knightley is in high demand after appearing in two blockbusters "Pirates Of The Caribbean" and "Bend It Like Beckham". She can next be seen in the romantic comedy "Love Actually" where she co-stars with Hugh Grant and many more. Then she moves onto her next blockbuster "Jurassic Park 4".
I heard that the studios are contracted to make 6 Jurassic Parks.
My vote definantly goes to Natalie. I dont even find Kiera all that attractive.
All this talk and no one has posted a picture of this Keira Knightley character. Sigh, guess I'll have to go check it out on imdb.
They're both gorgeous, but my vote goes to Ms. Knightley. For the accent of course.
Ya, I'd say Keira is the victor. I love the accent and I just find her prettier...
aw
agreed
Can I not just have them both???
To late :-D
Keep Well,
Dan
Man, I had no idea attraction to british accents was so rampant. I'm not judging, I find it very appealing as well. It's just surprising.
The Jacket Fits Keira Knightley
Source: Variety
Keira Knightley will star opposite Adrien Brody in The Jacket, the Mandalay Pictures/Section Eight film to be released domestically by Warner Independent Pictures. Knightley was seen in Bend It Like Beckham and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Brody plays a soldier convicted of murder who, during his treatment in a psychiatric hospital, comes to believe he is traveling through time. Knightley plays the object of his searching, a woman he met as a child and is fated to love. Her character assists Brody in his quest to determine if he is truly a killer.
John Maybury (Love Is the Devil) will direct the script by Marc Rocco and Massy Tadjedin.
Keira is the current girl I'm jealous of. In a non-negative way of course. I think Natalie is gorgeous as well but in interviews she seems like a know it all.
British actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY rushed to the bedside of ex-lover DEL SYNOTT after hearing he was so heartbroken he had tried to take his own life.
The teenage PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL star dated Synott for two years but broke up with him in the summer - and two weeks ago, her devastated former beau took a suspected overdose.
Synott was reportedly pushed over the edge when he heard Keira was dating Irish model JAMIE DORMAN - but now the actress has taken a break from her new romance to be by the side of her former lover.
Keira is supposed to be in Ireland filming her role as GUINEVERE in new film KING ARTHUR, but has flown to London to be by Synott's side as he recovers.
A pal confides, "She was mortified when she found out what had happened to Del. She rushed to his bedside and stayed all night.
"When we heard he was in hospital we all assumed the worst because he had been so upset about breaking up from Keira. She has insisted that she have a break from Jamie until everything is sorted out."
The source adds, "Del is not working much at the moment and had too much time to brood on the whole affair. He got really low. He is much better now and trying to get on with his life."
That's one fucked up love triangle!!! The bitch can't commit... but she's still pretty hot...
Keira Knightley to Play a Soldier Girl?
Source: Teletext
According to Teletext, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl star Keira Knightley may appear as a young woman who disguises herself as a boy in the Civil War film, Soldier Girl.
Writer/director Catherine Hardwicke said, "Keira read it and we're hoping she'll appear if she finishes all her other projects. It's a true story of a girl who disguised herself as a man for two years to fight in the war for a cause she believed in."
The Thirteen director is currently in the process of getting financing for the movie, as well as for a modern-day drama called Bulldog Dance.
"'Bulldog Dance' is about American gun culture," she added. "It's a little bit like 'Deliverance' but with girls in it, too... They're doing a little mountain biking at the weekend and get into a clash with the local people."
Keira Knightly to Star in Pride and Prejudice
According to Screen Daily, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and King Arthur star Keira Knightley is in advanced talks to play Elizabeth Bennet in Working Title Films' Jane Austen adaptation, Pride and Prejudice. Knightley would start shooting mid-August. The role of Darcy is still being cast.
Joe Wright will make his feature directorial debut on the classic 19th century romance. Wright previously directed two acclaimed BBC mini-series - the historical biog Charles II and contemporary drama Nature Boy. Novelist Deborah Moggach wrote the first draft of the Pride and Prejudice script, and Billy Elliot screenwriter Lee Hall did a polish.
jeez....she needs to take a break, she's turning into Ben Stiller
Quote from: El Duderinojeez....she needs to take a break, she's turning into Ben Stiller
Is that really the best analogy? Nicole Kidman, of course, comes to mind.
But yeah, she has become rather ubiquitous. Guess she's just cashing in on the Beckham/Pirates success. Seize it before it fades and she's not an "it" girl anymore.
Oh, and HAHAHAHAHA! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0283054/)

She's on top of my list.
so in 2001's The Hole, she has a topless scene. Wasn't she under 18 at that time? How could she legally do this?
I think that just applies to movies made in the US.
Quote from: PwaybloeI think that just applies to movies made in the US.
with that in mind...could that movie be shown in the US?
Thora Birch had a topless scene in American Beauty. She was only 17 at the time. Her parents were on set when it was filmed. But ... sshh! Don't tell John Ashcroft.
I think in a few states you can show nudity just as long as it's not "erotic", which the judge gets to define. like a few months ago the Girls Gone Wild douchebags were filmming underaged girls in FL--they weren't having intercourse so it was all peachy!
Those new bangs she has been sporting are god awful. They're just wretched.
Quote from: SHAFTRso in 2001's The Hole...Wasn't she under...a...18[-year-old]...topless scene[ster] at that time? How could she...do this?
Seriously. Scenesters blow.
i think she is kind of ghetto .....like a mix between emily rossum and that funky toothed girl from the patriot [heathy's love interest]......

Keira Knightley will star in "Domino," an action thriller that Tony Scott will direct for New Line Cinema from a Richard Kelly script. Scott will also produce the movie via his Scott Free Prods. with Samuel Hadida, who is financing through his France-based Davis Films.
The real-life story centers on Domino Harvey, the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey, who starred in the original version of "The Manchurian Candidate." Domino Harvey ditched a career as a Ford model to become a bounty hunter.

New Line will distribute the film in North America. Hadida's Metropolitan Filmexport distribution company will release the film in France, while Summit Entertainment and Davis Films are handling other foreign sales.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin next month, with a 2005 release planned. The film will shoot in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
New Line production president Toby Emmerich is overseeing for the studio.
"Domino" reunites Scott and Hadida, who first collaborated on the 1993 thriller "True Romance." The two also worked together on 2001's "Spy Game," which was produced in association with Metropolitan Filmexport.
Scott, who recently helmed "Man on Fire," is repped by CAA. The agency brokered the deal with Hadida as well as New Line.
Knightley, who starred in "The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," is onscreen in "King Arthur." She is shooting "Pride and Prejudice" and will next be seen in "The Jacket."

Once word gets out that Keira is topless in this movie, sales/rentals will go through the roof.
I'd rather see Thora Birch topless... at least she has breasts.

I wanted to. You could get your picture taken with her, but neither my friend nor I had a camera with me. He handed me his phone and told me to act like it was a camera phone and take a picture of them two posing. It was funny & creepy.
She's simply gorgeous...did you see her in "Love Actually"? Can't really visualize Natalie Portman in that role, quite honestly...

Keira needed help with lapdancing
Keira Knightley says she likes to strip off in front of the camera but has to recruit body doubles if it involves spreading her legs too far.
"Taking your clothes off in front of the camera is part of acting. I'm not ashamed of that, plus I like to look sexy on screen," she told German newspaper Express, adding that only once did she have to employ a body double.
Speaking about her new film Domino she said: "Only once during a lap dancing scene. I had to dance over man's lap, but the problem was he was so wide that I couldn't get my legs far enough apart. You have to be so flexible...I just couldn't do it and had to get a body double in."
Knightley then had to choose the best bottom from three girls. "I was presented with three naked girls. They had to show me their bums and I said which one I liked best."
i think she is a dumabass. but attractive
indeed.
