Keira Knightley will star in Never Let Me Go. This sci-fi thriller is a film adaptation of the novel by British author Kazuo Ishiguro. The story of the film revolves around a trio who grew up in a boarding school. They had no knowledge about the outside world until they discovered that they are clones grown for the sole purpose of organ donation. The shooting of the film is scheduled to start in April in London.
Never Let Me Go will give Keira a very good opportunity to pull off this refreshing change from her usual image of those period drama queen. The film will also star Andrew Garfield, and Carey Mulligan. Keira will be seen playing the role of Kathy H., who is a young woman of 31. The story takes place in a dystopian Britain, in which human beings are cloned to provide donor organs for transplants. Kathy and her classmates have been created to be donors, though the adult Kathy is temporarily working as a “carer,” someone who supports and comforts donors as they are made to give up their organs and, eventually, submit to death.

This sounds like a weird movie! I can’t picture Keira in it though, I thought that she would go for better roles than this!
