Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now it isn't every day we cover costume dramas on AICN, but I say why the hell not?!? Okay, so yeah... usually they're not my cup of tea either, but still... I was shocked at how much I found myself enjoying the Kiera Knightley PRIDE & PREJUDICE so maybe I'll like her in THE DUCHESS.

Ralph Fiennes has just signed on to co-star in the flick about Georgiana, an 18th Century Duchess. Apparently there are strong parallels between Georgiana and Princess Diana. Pathe and BBC are footing the bill, Jeffery Hatcher wrote the script and Saul Dibb is directing.
