Keira Knightley is reportedly up with some real good news for her huge fan base. Keira according to reports, is lined up to play Eliza Doolittle in Stephen Daldry’s remake of My Fair Lady. The remake is being considered a big one, since even Stephen feels that the earlier version was a fake in earning big name for just nothing. So Keira might just prove to be a better player in taking the much coveted step. As always the sought after star, Keira has reportedly confirmed her role in the film which is yet to be scheduled for shoot.

Daldry had made a bombing effect on the film fraternity when he had claimed that film audiences had been ‘fooled’ in the 1964 version of the great movie saying: ‘It’s all about Cecil Beaton’s sets and costumes, isn’t it? Which are fantastic  -  as are the songs, of course. It’s a visual masterpiece  -  but it needs to be more than that. It’s a clunky movie.”

Daldry is flying high on his successes these days. Daldry has won his share of award success for his current picture, ‘The Reader’ which has five Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture and Best Director. The film has already received rave reviews from all quarters.

Academy Award winner Emma Thompson is also aboard the project as script writer. She did win an Oscar for her adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. ‘My Fair Lady’ is expected to be filmed next year. The final things are already underway. The project is on for the timebeing.
