Keira Knightley Is Going To Be Effie Grey

For period drama UntouchedEmma Thompson won't be pleased. Why? Well, you may keep in mind that in August, we reported on her behalf finally showing up to obtain all of the elements sorted for Effie, the film about Euphemia "Effie" Grey and her unhappy marriage. With Dakota Fanning aboard to star, it finally began shooting recently. However comes word of the competing drama concerning the lady, with Keira Knightley in talks for that lead.This brand new one is known as Untouched, and it has House Of Sand director Andrucha Waddington set to call the shots. It'll tell exactly the same fundamental story of Effie, the teenage girl who will get get married to arty type John Ruskin, just for him to become disgusted by some a part of her body and won't consummate the wedding. The pair resided a joyless, loveless existence, together with his parents constantly attacking poor Effie. But her story includes a more happy ending, as she divorced Ruskin and married his protégé, John Everett Millais.Aleksandra Crapanzano authored the script, there is however not sure on once the film will start shooting. And that is even presuming anybody may wish to invest given the likelihood of a clash with Effie. Still, regardless of the seeming disparity of her playing a teen, Knightley's title should draw some attention.
