Movie Update: Keira Knightley's 'Last Night' film to be released after all

One of Keira Knightley's new films Last Night, which she co-starred with Eva Mendes, Avatar's Sam Worthington, and Guillaume Canet is set to be released sometime in late 2010.

According to Keira's Last Night's co-star Eva Mendes in her new interview with Cinema Blend, Last Night will be released later this year and will premiere at the Rome Film Festival.

Here's part of her interview from Cinema Blend:

A film that is definitely happening, however, is Last Night, a film in which Mendes co-stars with Kiera Knightly and Sam Worthington. Made prior to the sale of Miramax, the film has been hanging in limbo waiting for the company to be purchased. Now that the company is close to finding a new owner, the film, according to Mendes, will finally start showing this fall, starting at the Rome Film Festival, which opens this October.


"Massy Tadjedin, female writer/director, wrote and directed the film; Kiera is the best I’ve ever seen her; Sam Worthington is just so talented," Mendes said. "When we shot it last year he had just come off Avatar, it hadn’t come out yet, and off Terminator. He had done all these kind of high action, testosterone films and so we had him in a really interesting place... It’s a relationship drama, about the lives in infidelity and what is being faithful and what is being unfaithful and who pays in the end. It’s a very interesting film."

In the film, Mendes will play a co-worker of Worthington, with whom she gets embroiled in an affair kept secret from from Worthington's wife, played by Knightly. "We’re all the 'other' person," Mendes said.

Also, in a new Italian interview with Sam Worthington, he said Last Night will premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.

Here's a brief synopsis for Last Night...

The story follows a married couple, apart for a night while the husband takes a business trip with a colleague to whom he's attracted. While he's resisting temptation, his wife encounters her past love.
