A friend was talking about Kiera Knightley last night and how much she appreciated her. To which I could only say that I find KK a bit annoying at this point. Anyhoo, she's been cast in the new adaptation of King Lear, and it's Sir Anthony Hopkins who will be Lear.

Here's another fan vid for S&S 2008--Marianne & Elinor: Sisters in Love





I prefer Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield over KK--and they both have good posture in the adaptation, as far as I remember. haha.

I hope your use of "KK" in this post is referring to Keira Knightly (though I don't approve of this close association between that actress and me) instead of a thinly veiled attempt to smear the good name of your baby sister.

I never could really get into Anthony Hopkins, let alone seeing him as King Lear. I can't think of anyone other than Morgan Freeman at the moment.

They should have cast Naomi Watts as Cordelia, I think she has the right mix of naivete and crazy. None will ever be as good as Diana Rigg as Regan, of course.
