Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Hayley Atwell and Dominic Cooper star in The Duchess, a new movie based on the biography Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman.
Set at the end of the 18th Century, it tells the dramatic story of Georgiana's life, focusing on her incredibly unhappy marriage to the Duke, her trials dealing with his live-in lover Bess, the attraction she feels for the future PM, and her popularity with the people.
The film's out on September 5, and I want to know what you think. So take a look at the trailer and let me know if you'll see it or skip it?
Development
I will always see a period drama, doesn't matter who's in it.
1I'll watch it but I'll wait until it comes out on DVD.
2i want to see it too
3I'm really interested in the character itself, but I'm getting a bit Keira-Knightley-in-period-drama-ed out.
4i love keira knightley! definetly watching this
5I tried to be an extra in this film.. but was too hung-over and didn't make it to the audition on time!... I love a good period drama so will hopefully make it too the cinema!
6I adore costume dramas, so I'll see it. Keira's lovely, and I bet the film will be nominated for the Best Costume Oscar- which makes me instantly need to see it!
7the film seems alright but i haven't really heard much about it
8I love period dramas too, but like Advah I'm a little bored of Keira being cast in all these period films.
9Can't wait. I have two friends who worked on the films in different capacities and they think it's going to be great. Keira is terrific.
10I love Ralph Fiennes, he's my guy but I'll probably wait till this comes to HBO.
11I'll probably see it, but on an Orange Wed night in case it turns out to be a disappointment.
12i love anything keira is in - so i'll probably check this out. i do feel though that she does a LOT of period pieces and i'm afraid that it's going to be her only niche.
