June 6th, 2008 — Upcoming, keira knightley, preview, speculation
Columbia Pictures is in the process of casting their remake of the film My Fair Lady, and Keira Knightley is in talks to star as Eliza Dolittle, the flower girl who is turned into a lady. The project is being produced by Duncan Kenworthy (Love Actually) and Cameron Mackintosh.
This version is intended to be shot entirely on location, wheras the 1964 version was shot on soundstages in California.
The original version starred Rex Harrison as Henry Higgins, and Audrey Hepburn as Elize Doolittle.
My only question about this, is can Keira sing? It seems more and more popular to put non-singers in singing roles, and usually they turn out well (Walk Hard…you know you liked it). There is nothing worse though then a lip synched song in a film. Even the black plague isn’t as bad.
Do you think Keira Knightley will be able to sing?

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.
Wow, that doesn’t give anything away, does it?
It does have a certain ring to it. I think it was a wise choice to give the movie a sub-title, because Transformers 2…ahh…not very ringy.
What do you think about the name?

Sam Raimi has announced that he is eager to read the newest draft of Spiderman 4, due in a few months from James Vanderbilt (Zodiac). After which he will decide whether he wants to become involved in the project or not.
“I’m excited to read it,” said Raimi, “I’m hoping it’s as great as our discussions were about it and hoping it feels right for me, because I love Spider-Man, and I’m hoping I’m well-enough rested to, like, really embrace it and hoping that Sony wants me at that time to direct it. So if all those things come together, I would love, love to do it. But this is a lot of unknowns about the future.”
Just a few months ago, Raimi seemed very hesitant about the idea of being involved in the 4th film, so before you get too eager (or depressed) remember that nothing is final. I would imagine that if he does return, the story will be less convoluted then 3 which wasn’t exactly the pinnacle of his career. Cross your fingers that he will be able to retain a slight amount of creative control over the direction of the film.
Would you like to see Raimi return for the 4th film?
