The 24-year-old actress will be starring in the film, directed by lensman Joe Wright. “Joe and Keira are looking forward to working together again immensely,” an unidentified friend of the filmmarker told The Daily Telegraph on Sunday.

In August, Wright revealed that Keira would compete with the Golden Globe-winning Scarlett, also 24, for the role of the Cockney flower seller played by Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 original.

Produced by husband-and-wife producer team Stephen Woolley and Elizabeth Karlsen of London-based Number9 Films, shooting for the film could begin late next year.

“Playing Dusty would be a dream role and there is sure to be fierce competition to land the part,” a tipster tattles to The Daily Express. According to insiders, the film would “almost certainly” explore the “complicated private life” of the bisexual singer, who died from breast cancer in 1999 at 59.

Springfield enjoyed a string of hits, such as “I Only Want To Be With You” and “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” during the British Music Invasions of the 1960s.

Last year, the Pirates of the Caribbean star auditioned for the role originally portrayed by sixties sweetheart Audrey Hepburn, and even begun singing lessons in hopes of playing the Cockney florist. But it looks like Keira will have some competition from the Lost In Translation actress, according to Sir Cameron Mackintosh — who is producing the remake.

“I have two actresses as potential Elizas, one British, the other American. You’d know their names, but I’m not letting on,” Mackintosh told The Telegraph over the weekend.

Keira Knightley’s famously-flat chest mysteriously underwent a transformation in a new ad for Chanel.

Keira’s chest looks somewhat fuller than the her usual A-cup in a new image from her latest shoot for Chanel perfume.

After studying the new picture of the 24-year-old star, airbruhing expert Chris Bickmore has concluded that “her breast has had some shading added to it to give it the effect of being rounder and more pert and it has also been increased in size slightly.”

Keira is no stranger to controversy over her bust. In 2004, her King Arthur publicity images got a busty makeover, sparking outrage from female fans.

An anti-domestic violence public service announcement starring Keira Knightley has been banned from British television after censors branded its content too violent.

In the ad, the Atonement star plays an actress returning home from a film set to be confronted by a violent boyfriend who accuses her of having an affair with a co-star–she is then attacked and knocked to the floor.

Social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook, that have become a way of life for so many celebrities and their fans, are the objects of scorn for actress Keira Knightley.

Keira believes the Internet is preventing people from communicating effectively with one another.

“I hate the internet,” the 24-year-old star says. “I find it dehumanizing to constantly check emails or social sites which have become so fashionable.”

“I’m not a celebrity,” Keira added. “I don’t go home or out with friends saying I’m a celebrity and I don’t ask to be treated like a queen. Mum and dad wouldn’t like that.”

Keira Knightley has shot a commercial to raise awareness of domestic violence.

The ad is part of a new campaign by Women’s Aid to encourage victims of abuse to step forward.
In the ad the Pirates Of The Caribbean star, 24, plays an actress whose boyfriend abuses her behind closed doors.

Keira is seen being kicked in the stomach and hit in the face.

“Domestic violence kills two women every week but we rarely hear about it,” the actress says of her decision to appear in the campaign.

Keira’s domestic violence public service announcement airs tonight on television stations in the UK.

Keira Knightley will not appear in the next Pirates of the Caribbean film.

The 23-year-old actress, who starred as Elizabeth Swann in the first three movies, says she is leaving the hit Disney franchise to pursue new projects.

“It was a completely fantastic experience, and it was an amazingly large portion of my life, but I don’t think I need to go there again. I think that it’s done.”

Despite her decision not to reprise her role, Keira’s looking forward to checking out co-stars Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in the next feature.

“I’m very excited to see the next one. And Johnny is so wonderful as Captain Jack Sparrow . I think it’ll be wonderful.”

Oscar-nominated actress Keira Knightley promoted her new movie, The Duchess, on Late Night With Conan O’Brien on Wednesday.
