What are your thoughts?

Yes yes, I'm behind the times, but in June it was announced that a remake of My Fair Lady is in the works. Rumored to re-create the role of Eliza Dolittle is Keira Knightley.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies so I was pretty sad to hear this. To be fair, Knightley does look a little Hepburn-esque and would look the part of Eliza. And I didn't mind her in Pirates of the Caribbean. But my intense dislike for her started when she starred as Elizabeth Bennet in the 2005 remake of Pride and Prejudice. Her acting lacked depth and she was totally unbelievable as either a caring, sympathetic sister or a girl falling in love. I thought she portrayed Lizzie as brusque and snide instead of the intelligent, clever and gently sarcastic girl she is meant to be. You might say there is little difference , but I loved the original book and to me, it was all the difference in the world.

So that's my mini-rant on Keira Knightley. While there are many, many actresses who would be even worse in the now-famous role of Eliza, I can't imagine that Knightley could catch the subtle nuances, innocent sweetness or the sheer classiness of the part that Hepburn made famous on screen. My question is: who do YOU think should get the part? While you're thinking about it, who would make a good Henry Higgins?
