Keira Knightley co-stars as a fairy godmother to boyfriend and P&P co-star Rupert Friend's new short film debut, The Suicide Brothers.

Here are more pics and info. from UK's Daily Mail Online...

Rupert Friend, who has been dating Knightley for four years, co-wrote the film with friend Tom Mison and both have starring roles.

In the film two brothers named Bourbon and Barath (Friend and Mison) go out to the shed to kill themselves everyday at two o'clock.

They try a different method each time. But each day they fail, having overlooked the presence of their frustrated fairy godmother (Knightley).

Keira wears a bedraggled frayed dress and wings created by Oscar-winning Duchess designer Michael O'Connor.

The film also features Keira's older brother Caleb's soundscapes.
