The film "Anna Karenina" by the English director Joe Wright, whose premiere is scheduled for September 7, 2012, is already worrying the minds of Russians. Filmed based on the imperishable creation of Leo Tolstoy, and even by Western film distributors, it clearly deserves the attention of even the most discerning viewer.
If the plot of the novel "Anna Karenina" is known to almost everyone, then the interpretation of it by the English director Joe Wright raises many questions. It is especially interesting who got the main roles. Since the shooting of the film has been going on for a long time, it was not possible to hide the actress who played Anna Karenina from the general public. This complex dramatic character went to Keira Christina Knightley.
The fate of the little girl Kira was a foregone conclusion from the very birth. Famous British actors Sherman MacDonald and Will Knightley became her parents. Mother, Sherman, leaving a career in cinema, became a famous and quite successful playwright. And his father, Will, starred in more than twenty films, the last of which was released quite recently, in 2009. At the age of six, little Kira already had her own agent, who organized the shooting of the girl in the film "Royal Celebration". Then Kira began to get roles in TV shows and participated in all kinds of talk shows broadcast in the UK.
But the fame of Keira Knightley was brought, of course, not by these small roles in the series on not too rated channels. She got her lucky ticket when George Lucas was looking for an actress to play Queen Amidala's lookalike in Star Wars: Episode I. The Phantom Menace. She was played by Natalie Portman, and Keira Knightley's amazing resemblance to her predetermined the fate of the character - a double named Sabe. After this role, the British actress received offers from eminent directors. And in the two years that have passed since the release of "Star Wars", Kira starred in five films, in two of which she starred.
Keira Knightley became famous all over the world for her role as a teenage girl in the movie "Play Like Beckham." He grossed $ 76 million, making the leading actors famous.
Then there were shooting in the films "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", "Love Actually", "King Arcturus", "Jacket", "Domino", "Pride and Prejudice". For her role as Elizabeth Bennett in the latest film, Keira Knightley was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.
