ritain's hottest young actress, Keira Knightley, talks about her role in Domino, a film loosely inspired by the life of Domino Harvey, daughter of legendary British actor Laurence Harvey and a former model who rejected her privileged Beverly Hills life to become a gun-toting LA bounty hunter. What sold you on doing this movie? The moment I read the script, I thought, "This is so cool." It's really a black comedy... dark and nasty and all the rest of it. But there's something about it, you read it and you're just completely swept up in it. At that point I didn't know that I was doing Pride & Prejudice and I got a real kick out of the idea of going from Elizabeth Bennet to Domino. |
The whole idea of this girl who's from an
extremely privileged background who completely turns her back on all of it
and goes off on this wild path is an extraordinary idea in itself. Then
there's the fact that a lot of it is based on reality. That's fascinating.
Did you get to meet Domino? What kind of weapons have you been
training with in preparation for this movie? So is the mark on your cheek a remnant
of an earlier fight scene? How do you like the look of this
character? You
filmed Pride & Prejudice before this. Are there things in the movie that
people would be shocked about if they knew it was true? Postscript: Read Tribute's exclusive one-on-one with Keira Knightley talking about Pride & Prejudice in our next issue, online soon! |
