Keira Knightley hit the screen for one more time, at this time in a historical movie about a English aristocrat in the 18 century.

The Duchess is a film based on Amanda Foreman's biography of the scandalous 18th-century English aristocrat Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire.  

An ancestor of Princess Di, she lived an extravagant, profligate and promiscuous life of political and romantic intrigue, becoming an important powerbroker amid Britain's ruling elite but also running up catastrophic gambling debts. She was alternately feted and reviled, and widely caricatured by the popular press.

Originally to be directed by Susanne Bier, The Duchess is now to be directed by Saul Dibb. The film will star Keira Knightley as Georgiana.

The movie’s theme is told to be:  “A chronicle of the life of 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, an ancestor of Princess Diana who was alternately celebrated and reviled for her extravagant political and personal lives.”


 “You can’t ask me to battle nature and my own heart!” Keira exclaims in the trailer.

The film is set for a fall 2008 release.

Recently, Keira enchanted us with her last character in the movie Atonement, played along with James McAvoy.
