Keira Knightley Says No More Pirates

The headline says it all but I'll try to add some semi-intelligent commentary of my own to spice things up a little. After all, that's why I get the big bucks here at Cinematical. Anyway, the very talented and exquisite Keira Knightley was interviewed this week by the UK's The Daily Mail while on the set of her latest film Atonement.

Among other things discussed during the interview was her work on the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise films. In the interview, she said definitively that her most recent appearance as the tough but beautiful Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End will be her last because she wants to move on to other kinds of films, as well as more adult roles.

"I've been playing this girl since I was 17," said Keira in the interview. "I'm 21 now and I'm onto very different things, but it's fun to try to invest Elizabeth with some rebellious spirit."

You can't really blame her for wanting to move on and do other things. After all, she is an actress who's shown a lot of range and talent in films like The Jacket and Domino, so it makes sense that she would want to put the Elizabeth Swann character behind her. Been there, done that -- three times. She's got a bright future ahead of her and whatever she does decide to do, I'll be watching.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End hits theaters on May 25th, 2007.

QT's top 4

Apparently Jimmy Kimmel had a special post-Oscars show last night, probably in an effort to persuade the 14 viewers who were still awake after a really long riveting Oscar ceremony to stay tuned to ABC. Among Kimmel's guest was Quentin Tarantino who, since he obviously hasn't slept in three years, had no trouble staying up for the affair. Trapped in Kimmel's tan chair, the shy and retiring Tarantino rose to the occasion by naming his top four films of 2005, none of which nominated for best picture: Hustle & Flow, Domino, The Devil's Rejects and Sin City. Since he was "guest director" on Sin City, and because the manic nature of Domino owes more than a little to his influence, it's no surprise that Tarantino picked those two - but I'm still shocked at the fact that all the films are American and, apart from Devil's Rejects, reasonably mainstream. If Kimmel didn't tell him beforehand that the movies he chose had to be familiar to the TV audience, my faith in QT as a movie fan is slipping. (I mean, no K-horror? Nothing wildly obscure for his fans to run out and download?) Also, like Jette's brother, Tarantino felt that Mickey Rourke was stiffed by the Academy when he went un-nominated for his work as Marv in Sin City.
