Never Let Me Go Synopsis: Kathy, Tommy and Ruth live in a world and a time that feel familiar to us, but are not quite like anything we know. They spend their childhood at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. When they leave the shelter of the school and the terrible truth of their fate is revealed to them, they must also confront the deep feelings of love, jealousy and betrayal that threaten to pull them apart.

Never Let Me Go will be released to theaters on October 1st, 2010 . Watch the trailer below.

The first look at London Boulevard with this production still!

Action man Matt Damon (The Bourne Franchise) is set to star alongside the beautiful English rose Keira Knightley in the new version of ‘Tender Is The Night’ from 20th Century Fox.

American author F Scott Fitzgerald is one of those writers whose works go through adaptation spurts – several get turned into films in a short burst, then nothing happens for years. The most recent was The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, taken from one of his short stories.

Tender Is The Night is about the psychological disintegration of a young married American couple on the French Riviera in the 1920s. Damon would play Dick, a promising young doctor and a husband to Nicole (Knightley), whose wealth puts him in a lifestyle not his own, and whose growing strength highlight’s Dick’s traumatic demise.

Knightley (not suprisingly) would be perfect for Nicole, but Damon isn’t such a sure pick for Dick, but let’s see how this pans out.

There’s no word on if they’ll sign, and the film doesn’t even have a director attached yet

British actress Keira Knightley worked penniless in her latest film, ‘Maze’, by the painter turned filmmaker Stuart Pearson Wright because she just clicked with his ideas.

The 23-year-old beauty appears as Elizabethan lover Constance in 10-minute short film ‘Maze’ which features the actress and her lover played by the artist in full period costume, lost in a maze trying to find each other and was shot in one day for just 15,000 pounds, The Independent reported.

“I loved the idea of doing something that was purely creative, weird and wonderful and not a commercial venture. Ideas were emailed and then developed at Stuart’s studio over cupcakes and tea, and under the skeleton of his dog, and a film piece was decided on: a collision of our worlds,” Knightley said.

The filmmaker too insists he was pretty hesitant initially to work with a star like Knightley in his debut film, but she instantly put him at ease.

“I was impressed Keira agreed to do the film straight away. She had the humility to take direction from somebody who lacked experience. She was as un-diva like as anybody could be, because she is so down to earth. She is not into playing the whole star game. She genuinely loves acting and I think she gives a great performance, in this film, in a very uncomfortable dress,” Stuart said.

First she starred in Atonement, directed by Joe Wright from Ian McEwan’s novel of the same name. Later this year she’ll be seen in Never Let Me Go, a film version of Kazuo Ishiguro’s moving novel. Now Keira Knightley looks set to complete a hat-trick of big screen adaptations of Booker-nominated novels.

Keira Knightley, Eric Bana and Richard Gere have signed up to star in The Emperor’s Children, the new movie from Noah Baumbach (The Squid And The Whale).

Baumbach has a background in the familial dramas of middle-class New Yorkers, having written and directed The Squid and the Whale, and Margot at the Wedding. He was reported to be simply scripting The Emperor’s Children, with Ron Howard directing, but Howard has now handed over the reins to instead direct an infidelity comedy starring Vince Vaughn. He will remain onboard as a producer.

Based on Claire Messud’s 2006 novel, the dramedy centres on three Brown University alumni who are struggling with their personal and professional lives as they reach their 30s. Gere, who last appeared in Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, will take on a supporting role.

Filming is due to start this summer.

Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are producing the movie, which will begin shooting this summer.

Knightley recently confirmed that she won’t reprise her role as Elizabeth Swann in Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Here are some images from Keira @ last nights Laurence Olivier Awards.

Last month, “Captain America” director Joe Johnston said casting of the title role was only weeks away and even suggested that the process would be completed before March 1st.

However, not only has Captain America not yet been cast, several actors have recently been added to Marvel Studios’ shortlist, including — Chris Evans, Garrett Hedlund, Wilson Bethel and Mike Vogel. And before those rumors have even begun to cool down, another name has been added to the mix.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Channing Tatum has been officially approached by Marvel to star in “The First Avenger: Captain America.” Tatum’s star has been on the rise since last summer’s “G.I. Joe” film in addition to his more recent movie “Dear John”, which knocked “Avatar” out of first place earlier this year.

Tatum was previously under consideration to appear in “Thor” and has made no secret of his desire to play Steve Rogers on the big screen.

“I would love to play Captain America,” Tatum told MTV News. “I actually really, really would love it. I love Captain America. I’m not a big aficionado on him, but I know who we was, and I like him as a character.”

“Pirates of the Caribbean” actress Keira Knightley has also been approached to appear as the female lead in “Captain America.” The Hollywood Reporter identifies the character as Betsy Ross — who was one of Captain America’s early love interests in the comics and later became the superheroine called Golden Girl. However, the role has also been rumored to be Peggy Carter, a French resistance fighter who fell in love with Cap during WW2.

Deadline is also reporting that Alice Eve and Emily Blunt are also in consideration for the female lead. Additionally, there is reportedly little movement towards finalizing a deal for Hugo Weaving to appear as the Red Skull, which was announced last week.

British actress Keira Knightley’s stint in West End production The Misanthrope may have fetched mixed response from the critics but the Bend It Like Beckham star is looking forward to spend more time on stage.

Knightley says she enjoys working in the theatre because she gets more time to embrace her character than she does when she shoots a film, Daily Express reported.

The Oscar nominated actress is ignoring criticism of her performance in The Misanthrope and wants to appear in more productions in London’s West End.

“It’s so different to films as you really get into the character. In films, once you have finished shooting a scene it’s done but with theatre you’re always continuing. You get to know the character in a way that you don’t as much in films,” Knightley said.

The 24-year-old star, who plays the role of Hollywood actress Jennifer in The Misanthrope, said she loves seeing the reaction of the audience when she is performing.

“The audience’s mood is different every night and that is fascinating as, along with my mood, it gives the whole performance a different feeling each night. There haven’t been any negative reactions from the audience.”
