No Smiles For Keira and James at Atonement Premiere

Molly — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 23:53:30 -0800

Keira Knightley was stone faced at the New York premiere of Atonement last night. Otherwise, she looks pretty perfect, but I wish she didn't seem so miserable (eh, not that she cares what anyone thinks). By her side was her similarly somber costar James McAvoy. Lighten up a little guys, you're celebrating your own movie! Masi Oka was also in the house, filling the requirement that there be at least one cast member from Heroes at every single party or event ever. Meanwhile, what happened to Jason Lewis? He was Absolut Hunk, and now he just looks kinda greasy. Hopefully he'll be back to being sweet and dreamy when he reprises the role of Smith Jarrod in the Sex and the City movie.

Fat Boys Run Amidst Atonement In Toronto

PopSugar — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 11:44:58 -0700

The Toronto Film Festival fun is still alive and full of star power this week. Keira took her smoky eyes and soft curls to the premiere of Atonement with cute James McAvoy by her side. Actor turned Director David Schwimmer came out with Thandie Newton for their new movie, Run, Fat Boy, Run. Cute Thandie wore the very same dress that Kate Bosworth was wearing this weekend. Yikes - who do you think wore it better?

Keira Shows off Her Atonement, Sternum in London

Molly — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 23:57:40 -0700

Keira Knightley wore a craaaaa-zy chest baring dress to the London premiere of Atonement last night. The look obviously emphasizes how boney she is, though I think she (understandably) never wants to talk about that again. Even though she was back at home for the premiere, her boyfriend Rupert wasn't around for the red carpet. Keira's no stranger to the red carpet, of course, which she recently showed off playing an actress in the short film series she made as part of her Coco Mademoiselle campaign for Chanel. It's all very old school Hollywood glamour and I think she plays it well.

All Eyes On Keira

PopSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 15:59:16 -0700

Keira Knightley looked angelic in her pink dress at the premiere of Atonement at the Venice Film Festival today. Keira's cute co-star James McAvoy also posed on the red carpet beside his on-screen lover, but he claims that she is the one to watch. He said, "I don't mind that Keira will get a lot of attention. She deserves it. She is incredible in the film." Undoubtedly all eyes may be on Keira in Venice now but we have a feeling things might slow down a bit once Brad and George roll into town.

Keira Doesn't Want To Know What You Think

PopSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 08:59:00 -0700

Keira Knightley combined the latest trends with Ray Ban classics as she arrived in Venice yesterday. She wore a beautiful dress for the photocall of her period peice Atonement which opened up the Venice Film Festival. The buzz has already started about her performance but that being said, Keira does all that she can to avoid reading what the media has to say about her, for better or for worse. She said,

"Once you become famous you get completely dehumanized. I think people forget there is a person in there trying to deal with it. Partly the way you deal with it is by not reading, not looking and seeing any of it and burying your head in the sand. It is the only path to sanity."

We know Keira has dealt with some pretty bad backlash from the media about her weight, so we don't blame her for wanting to stay away from it. We just hope it doesn't make her quit acting altogether, because we'd miss her on the big screen.

Keira and James' Stone Faced Atonement

Molly — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:30:04 -0800

Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, who have a lot to celebrate now that Atonement picked up the Golden Globe for Best Drama (good sign for those Oscars), recently sat down with W Magazine to chat about their much-hyped film. Keira, who is on many a magazine cover these days, sports lots of Chanel in the photos (perhaps some synergy between her outfits and that Chanel perfume contract) to go with her angry faces. A little scary, no? At least she lightened up in the interview. Here are highlights:

On taking time off: “It got to the point where you just get tired, and then you start to forget what you love about what you do. I wanted to be able to say to my friends, ‘Yes, I will be there for your birthday.’ I was having that discombobulated feeling of being homesick but not knowing what I was homesick for.”
On being a professional: "From a very young age I realized that you didn’t get parts if you acted like a child. So even at seven I remember picking a way to behave, a way that worked. Though in my personal life I don’t think I’m particularly mature. I don’t particularly want to be mature!”

On public rumors about her weight: “It’s like having piles of s--- put on your head. As a teenager you put enough on yourself. You’re a spotty emotional wreck whose body is changing, and you’re just not equipped to deal with that sort of thing.”
On awards season: “If the film gets awards or anything, great, but if it doesn’t, it certainly doesn’t devalue the project."
On being nominated for Pride and Prejudice: “It was great fun, and it was partly great fun because I was absolutely certain that I wasn’t going to win, so it was just sort of going along for a jolly.”

After Atonement's rave reviews and Golden Globe, Keira's chances may be better this time around. At the very least she should be up bright and early on January 22, when the nominations for the Oscars are announced.

Keira Knightley Is Mad for Plaid and On a Roll

PopSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:30:59 -0700

Keira Knightley got a helping hand earlier today as she left a radio interview in London in her cute plaid dress. She's beginning to make the press rounds for her upcoming film The Edge of Love, but it's her work in Atonement that's just earned her a nomination at this year's Teen Choice Awards. It's the latest accolade for Keira since being nominated for a Golden Globe - add to that her relationship with Rupert and her new BFF Sienna, and things seem to be looking good for Keira these days.

Keira and James Atone in LA

Molly — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 11:34:03 -0800

Keira Knightley and James McAvoy were once again utterly without smiles at last night's LA premiere of Atonement. Lighten up, guys! Keira was showing off more dramatic new bangs to go along with her dramatic dress. Bella wants to know what you think about her red carpet look - love it or hate it? Keira is pretty into displaying her sternum these days, as last night's flesh toned frock definitely reminded me of her London premiere dress from September. As for the movie? I can't wait to check it out especially after reading how much Buzz enjoyed it. See Keira, we love you even if you hate to smile.

Keira Knightley's Rather Revealing Interview

Molly — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:30:00 -0800

Keira Knightley, no stranger to a magazine cover, found time between movie premieres to sit down with Interview. She stars in a rather racy photo shoot and discusses her upcoming film Atonement, why she's viewed as old Hollywood, and why she keeps taking her clothes off for magazines. Here's more:

On the characters in Atonement: Everybody has regrets. Everybody feels guilty about something, though hopefully not for something as bad as what happens in the movie. But that’s what is wonderful about the book and the film - you understand where these people are coming from. The situation may be completely different from ones I’ve experienced or that most people have experienced, but the core emotions are the same - that we all make mistakes, and sometimes we’re horrendous to each other. It’s the Robbie character [played by James McAvoy] that I find truly heartbreaking, because at the beginning he’s really Christ-like in his goodness - he’s a selfless, perfect person - and in a funny way I don’t think we can ever handle it when someone is that good, so what we do is destroy them.

To see what else Keira says to Interview as well as more photos just read more

On seeming old Hollywood: I think it has more to do with the films I’ve done. If you watch Atonement the look of my character, Cecilia Tallis, is incredibly stylized and sort of movie star-esque for that time. But I think different people have seen me in a different ways. I started out being very much “girl next door,” and now I’ve gone into a bit of Hollywood-glamour phase.
About her photo shoot: We ended by taking my clothes off again. How does that always happen... I don’t know. Because I say yes, I suppose.

Hey, at least she's honest. I read Atonement many years ago and recall the ending making me angry, but otherwise loving it. I can't wait to see how Keira and James translate it onto the big screen.
