Conspicuous Trailer of the Week: Prince of Persia

Another day and another swashbuckling extravaganza from Hollywood.

Keira Knightley is Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady” Remake

Edit: As of  mid January 2010, it turns out that miss Knightley has withdrawn from this project even, and according to AceShowbiz, Carey Mulligan is said to be in the running for the role of Eliza. That's too bad as she'd have been a terrific choice! Wow, I must've been living under a rock as …
