Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Prepare to make fun of me... ready? Here we go, I loved both Atonement and Pride & Prejudice. It's not so damning to say you loved Joe Wright's most recent flick, Hanna, but I loved that one, too, dammit!
Focus Features has announced Joe Wright will be going back to the period drama with Keira Knightley, this time with Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, adapted by the brilliant Tom Stoppard.
Knightley will be playing Anna with Jude Law as her husband, Aleksei Karenin, Aaron Johnson as Count Vronsky, Kelly Mcdonald (Boardwalk Empire) will be Dolly and Matthew Macfadyen will be Oblonsky. Domhnall Gleeson, Alice Vikander, Emily Watson, Olivia Williams and Ruth Wilson round out the cast.
Also coming back are Wright's frequent collaborators Dario Marianelli (composer) and costume designer Jacqueline Durran.
So, that's the news. What do you folks think?
