Also in the lineup: Casey Affleck’s documentary “I’m Still Here,” chronicling brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix’s retirement from acting to pursue a hip-hop music career; Matt Reeves’ “Let Me In,” starring Chloe Moretz (“Kick-Ass”) in an English-language remake of the vampire tale “Let the Right One In”; Mitch Glazer’s “Passion Play,” with Mickey Rourke, Megan Fox and Bill Murray in the story of a down-and-out jazz trumpeter and a woman born with wings who works as a carnival sideshow attraction; and John Carpenter’s “The Ward,” featuring Amber Heard as a woman tormented by evil forces in a mental institution.

The filmmaker takes charge of the coming-of-age tale, adapted from the book by Kazuo Ishiguro, which tells the tale of three students whose world falls apart when they leave their boarding school. The trio is played by Knightley, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield, and Romanek insists it was almost impossible to make the Pirates of the Caribbean beauty appear plain. He tells Britain’s Daily Express, “It was difficult. She was eager and happy to do it because the role called for it. But even at her worst, Keira still looks astonishing.” Source: Toronto Sun | |

Marek Daniluk was taken into custody in February after the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star told police that she felt threatened by his regular presence outside London’s Comedy Theatre, where she had been performing in ‘The Misanthrope’, reports contactmusic.com. He appeared at the City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court earlier this year where he pleaded not guilty to harassment. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, Knightley was reportedly given several possible dates to appear in court to testify but was unavailable on each occasion, following which Daniluk has been told that the case was finished and he was allowed to walk free.
