The reunion is off, apparently. Keira Knightley will not be back working with Atonement director Joe Wright on My Fair Lady. Knightley, who also acted under Wright for Pride and Prejudice, is all set to star as Eliza Doolittle in the remake of the popular musical. But Keira's casting and Emma Thompson's script apparently aren't enough to lure Joe Wright to the project.
Following rumours of his helming My Fair Lady, he confirmed to Screenrush that he's definitely not doing it: "I thought about it for a couple of minutes and decided not to do it, and then suddenly it got into the press that I was doing it." And so the world waits for the next director to step into the chair. All we know so far? It's not Michael Bay...
