Finally, an update from my most favorite actress Keira Knightley! It was an absolute disappointment that she wouldn't reprise her role as Elizabeth Swann-Turner in the upcoming "Pirates Of The Caribbean" installment, but her career is surely still on-going, albeit being involved in non-blockbuster projects, it's in a more serious way. Last year she appeared in the Kazuo Ishiguro's novel-adapted movie, "Never Let Me Go", alongside Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield and "Last Night" with French actor Guillaume Cannet. The former was fairly made and attracted many critics (I already have the movie in my hard disk, unfortunately it's in HD and my laptop isn't able to execute any type of HD movies smoothly, so it's a big alas). I haven't seen nor found any info about the latter, but will do so very soon.

The exciting news is that Keira is officially signed in to David Cronenberg upcoming drama thriller "Cosmopolis", replacing Marion Cottilard who was first chosen to play the role. Last month, it was announced that Robert Pattinson took the leading role as Eric Packer, a multimillionaire from Manhattan. Keira reportedly will play as Eric's wife, even though I haven't found any information about her role name.

I love the fact that Robert is going to take off his Edward Cullen and "Twilight" persona very soon as the movie franchise will come to an end next year. I've always believed that he's actually a great actor yet unfortunate, because most people have turned their backs on Robert due to his overexposed and obnoxious Hollywood frenzy. Seeing Robert and Keira in a movie has been my 'wild unfulfilled cinematic dream', proven by this artwork I made a couple of years ago.

Yeah I'm not that artsy when it comes to 'photoshopping'. But their faces are just so 'classily British' and good looking—I couldn't help to put them together in a picture! And now the dream has come true, they'll be in the same movie. YES!

Colin Farrel was initially set to play Eric at the first place, but due to his scheduling conflicts it finally went to Robert Pattinson. This movie will be released in 2012 with no further info about the release date, and it will likely to start filming very soon.
