Keira will undoubtedly have a busy spring with the expected media blitz leading up to the May 25th release of Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. Also look for Keira’s two other 2007 films, Atonement and Silk, in the fall. Rumor has it that she intends to take a break from work and focus on her private life (meaning her relationship with live-in boyfriend, Rupert Friend, with whom she costarred in Pride and Prejudice), but thankfully nothing has been confirmed.

Knightley recently completed a Gulf War romance, "The Jacket," opposite Adrien Brody, and a Tom Stoppard drama, "Tulip Fever," with Jim Broadbent and Jude Law. In a couple of days she's flying back to England to begin work on "Pride and Prejudice." Though she's proved herself a quick study in her other projects, Knightley, for once, sounds slightly intimidated by her new project, which is set in the 1790s.

One of the greatest love stories of all time, "Pride & Prejudice" comes to the screen in a glorious new adaptation starring Keira Knightley. When Elizabeth Bennet (Knightley) meets the handsome Mr. Darcy (Mathew Macfadyen), she believes he is the last man on earth she could ever marry. But as their lives become intertwined, she finds herself captivated by the very person she swore to loathe for all eternity. Based on the beloved masterpiece by Jane Austen, it is the classic tale of love and misunderstanding that sparkles with romance, wit, and emotional force.
