Keira Knightly’s New Flick Has A Dirty Mouth

Keira Knightley's new movie , the wartime drama "Atonement", is already garnering huge Oscar buzz. It nearly didn't get made because it uses the c-bomb in the script and a studio executive didn't feel like that was gonna fly in Wichita. "Atonement's director Joe Wright had to practically stage a sit-in to make sure it wasn't excised, as he felt it was integral to the vision of the project. That's how I feel about it. I know it's a dirty, dirty word - but sometimes...it sums up exactly how you feel about a person at that juncture. I'm not proud of it, but it is what it is. It's integral to the vision of my anger, let's say. C'mon, have you ever had someone steal your parking space? Or cut you off on the freeway? It's only in the sancitity of my Toyota Scion, I swear! I can her the ladies growling at me, so I'll move on. Anyway, several studios passed on the script but Focus Pictures got some stones and went with it. And now everyone's talking about it. Finally, theyre talking about Keira Knightley in regards to something other than her flat chest and yappy mouth.
