Keira Knightley Movie News: The Talking Cure

Keira Knightley and Christoph Waltz are set to star in David Cronenberg’s film adaptation of 2002 play The Talking Cure.

Keira Knightley Being Considered for Dusty Springfield

Keira Knightley, Nicole Kidman and even Amy Winehouse are being considered to play Dusty Springfield in a new movie. Dusty Springfield was a very, very popular singer in the 60’s with hits I Only Want To Be With You, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, and Son of a Preacher Man.

The £5million film, likely to be called Dusty, could begin filming late next year.

Terence Doyle, editor of British film magazine, says: “Playing Dusty would be a dream role and there is sure to be fierce competition to land the part.”

Voted the Top British Female Artist in 1964, 1965, and 1968, Dusty Springfield had a worldwide hit with Son of a Preacher Man. It’s, unquestionably, one of the best songs ever.

Her album Dusty In Memphis has been voted one of the greatest 100 pop records of all time.

A movie insider said the film would “almost certainly” explore the “complicated private life” of the gay singer who died from breast cancer in 1999. She was only 59 when she died.
