Keira Knightley Scarlett Johansson Competing For Role Of Eliza Doolittle “My Fair Lady” Remake
Keira Knightley will compete with Scarlett Johansson for the role of Eliza Doolittle in a remake of the 1964 film My Fair Lady.
(Ugh — Can’t Hollywood at least leave My Fair Lady alone? As if it isn’t bad enough that they’re remaking Teen Wolf!)
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.
