Actress Emma Thompson is adapting the script which is expected to be more faithful to George Bernard Shaw's original play "Pygmalion" than the 50's Lerner and Loewe musical which served as the basis for the 1964 classic film.
Keira Knightley and her Atonement pal director Joe Wright. were linked to the project, which Wright quickly denied saying the film was something he briefly considered doing before he declined.
Knightley is not bound to play Eliza--and so Madden will likely begin a new search for his leading lady sometime after the new year...and makes a great choice to take the helm here.
