Keira Knightley to star in 'Never Let Me Go'

When I read the blurb in Variety's article "Keira Knightley to star in sci fi thriller" I momentarily got excited, y'see I like Keira but I am so sick of her doing period pieces that don't interest me, however i then caught the three dreaded letters F...O..X....As we all know that usually signals doom, but then I actually read the article and it's Fox's superb indie arm searchlight that is handling this aforementioned thriller, so a collective sigh of relief all round I'd say.

The film is going to be directed by Mark Romanek who made the pretty decent indie thriller 'One Hour Photo' and who was attached to helm the remake of 'The Wolfman' until virtually shooting time.

The synopsis is as follows:

Story revolves around a trio who grew up in a boarding school with no contact or knowledge of the outside world until they discover they are clones grown for the sole purpose of organ donation.

So it pretty much sounds like Michael Bay's 'The Island' only set in England and minus the car chases, but I am sure there will be more to it than that., I'm just glad Keira is ditching the wigs and corsets!
