Keira Knightley Lands My Fair Lady Role
 The Telegraph reports that Keira Knightley has beat out Scarlett Johansson for the role of Eliza Doolittle in a remake of My Fair Lady. Pride and Prejudice director Joe Wright will be directing My Fair Lady. Keira also starred in Pride and Prejudice.
"Joe and Keira are looking forward to working together again immensely," says a friend of the 37-year-old director.
In August, I reported that Knightley had been forced to compete with Johansson, 24, for the role of the Cockney flower seller played by Audrey Hepburn in the 1964 film.
"I have two actresses as potential Elizas, one British, the other American," said Sir Cameron Mackintosh, who is producing the film with Duncan Kenworthy, at the time. "You'd know their names, but I'm not letting on."
Other details released about the film are that Emma Thompson is writing the script and Daniel Craig may play Professor Henry Higgins.
