The Telegraph says that Keira Knightley is re teaming for a 3rd time with director Joe Wright, for the a remake of "My Fair Lady" .Knightley auditioned for the role last year--competing against Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway for the lead role. Producer Duncan Kenworthy was cited saying "I think Keira would be absolutely fabulous in it".
She has already started her singing lessons for the project.
The script adaptation by Emma Thompson is expected to be more faithful to author George Bernard Shaw's original play "Pygmalion" than the 50's Lerner and Loewe musical which served as the basis for the 1964 feature film classic starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.
Wright worked with Knightley on Pride and Prejudice and Atonement.
