Could be interesting.
Depnding on when this film is set it could be a potentially great drama if they nail the beauty of Japan in the cinematography. Knightley can hold her own as she proved in Pride and Prejudice but whether the on screen chemistry between her and Michael Pitt wiill work remains to be seen. Looking forward though.  More Posted by Rich Empire at 20:20, 23 March 2006 | Report This Post
