Keira Knightley. I don't care for her, myself. She's hardly ever in any films I like either. I like Love Actually a lot, am okay with Pure and have always been rather fond of Thunderpants... but that's the best I can say, I'm afraid.
The trailer for Silk is now yours for the taking in medium, high and ultra resolution standard-def Quicktime and 480p, 720p and 1080p high-def.
Right click and rename the file something like silkismurder.mov or similar.
Download or watch the new featurettes on Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Joe Wright, the Dunkirk sequence and the three Brionys.
Working Title are pimping Atonement in a full-on fashion. Download their latest hype-mongering clip, which features footage from the film and interviews.
According to The Sun, Keira Knightley is 'being wooed' to take the role of Princess Diana in an upcoming film about her dea... er... life. It will be based upon a book called Princess Diana and the Paparazzi, written by two members of said paparazzi.
The quote 'an insider at Paramount Studios' as saying "It's an incredible story - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid meet Snow White". Can't quite follow that one, myself. Paramount don't have the rights sewn up yet - and The Sun even quote another interested party, producer Quentin Reynolds.
"Already the word in Hollywood is 'get Knightley!' It's a story that has everything: pathos, tragedy, comedy, adventure... and Princess Diana."
Reynolds also suggests the film would be ten times as successful as The Queen at the box office. He's probably wrong. It's probably more like twenty times.

I did pop a version of this up on YouTube a few days ago. Shortly, the Orlando Bloom piece will go to YouTube too and then, later, follow here.
And I think you can guess what will happen after that.
- The Sun are alleging that Brad Pitt is the front-runner to play He-Man. Sure he is. Their back-up bet is Gerard Butler. The Sun's other Pitt-stop alleges that Angelina and Brad have 'banned their kids from seeing them brandishing guns in movies'.
- Robert Rodriguez may make The Jetsons for Warners. There's a technicality by which he could work around his DGA resignation, apparently - anybody expert enough to know if this renders his DGA resignation hollow? I'm honestly not sure. I'm most interested by the news that he may be sizing up films outside of the Weinstein's shadow - are they going cold on him after his Planet Terror has taken a lot of the blame for crippling Grind House?
- Latino Review are alleging that Jessica Biel will play Chun Li in a Street Fighter film. I'd hope she wouldn't be so silly, even though the character will apparently be the focus of the film. Another casting report in the same place suggests that Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Kenneth Branagh, Stephen Fry and Patrick Wilson are all negotiating roles in Brian Singer's Valkyrie. Sounds like somebody listed every possibility they could come up with, but that somebody might just be Singer or his casting agent.
- Luke Wilson has been quoted in the Brit tabloids as saying the Dallas film is off. This isn't strictly true, I understand - the film is just on a rather remote back burner. I understand that options still exist on Wilson, Shirely Maclaine and John Travolta, and should any of the scripts and treatments that get cooked up in the coming months seem to carry the budget, the switch will be flicked back on.
- Just Jared have snaps and video of Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Cillian Murphy on the set of the Dylan Thomas biopic, The Best Times of Our Lives. [EDIT: Which is now called The Edge of Love]
[EDIT: Please note that the title to this post is a question. And that I don't pretend to have an answer. And, yes, while I think Keira looks thin - or at least, in many images - I don't know definitively she needs to put on weight to be 100% healthy. But I would take that bet, sure I would]
Keira Knightly has apparently told Elle magazine she's toying with the notion of quitting acting alltogether. Her reason? She's being used as a role model by pro-anorexia websites.
Easiest way to sort that, Keira? Bulk up a little. Not only will that stop you being a role model for those suffering from mental illness, you might even become a role model for those trying to escape those shackles.
I can hear the complaints now: she's naturally thin, she's supposed to be like that.
Right. She might be naturally thin, but even for her natural state, she's small. Ask your GP, just conversationally, what the chances are that Keira could be a healthy weight. They'll laugh at the question.
[EDIT: The anonymous comment below suggested the Elle article would answer my questions. It doesn't, really. It gives Keira plenty of space to make her case, and that's only right and she does a pretty good job. But there's not even any suggestion, let alone evidence, that she's a healthy weight. And that means now, not just in the infamous skin-and-bone bikini pictures. Why not all read the article for yourself - page one, two, three - thanks to 'Dangermouse']
I'm frightened that, in fact, Keira simply wants to starve herself in peace. She's getting too many mixed messages, and without fame, and with the little extra-dash of self loathing this stand-down could provide, there's every chance she could clear out those people trying to help her get healthier and she'd pretty soon be in a teeny little grave.
Find me one single medical professional that will back up Keira's claims she's healthy and I'll find you a dictionary to revise your definitions of medical and professional.
Personally, I'd like her to quit acting. Yes, because she's actually being quite a good role model for anorexics - and this whole heap of nonsense is only furthering that - but also because, frankly, she's not much cop.
You can see the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 trailer now, if you don't mind the odd bit of dubbing into Russian. View it, or download it, or try for the HD version.
