While Keira Knightley is currently filming Anna Karenina with her P&P/ Atonement director Joe Wright and P&P co-star Matthew Macfadyen , there are two casting news this week mentioning her name where she's either in talks (to play Effie Gray in Untouched ...interestingly, 2 years ago Carey Mulligan was attached to star in Effie , written by Emma Thompson , but is no longer attached as she's left the project and is now too busy with several new film projects she's attached to star these days) or being pursued (in Warner Bros.' Akira along with Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham-Carter in the mix) in two different films. So far, these are casting rumors (until they are confirmed), we'll find out soon enough if she gets cast in one or both films.
