"Anna Karenina" remake



The great Tolstoy tragic love story epic is getting remade once again, with a release due this November, starring Keira Knightley in the title role.  Keira has proven she's adept with period pieces, and she's also shown great talent in other great Russian literary remakes, i.e., a relatively unsung "Dr. Zhivago" redo in which a very young Keira played a very young Lara, and provided a stunningly erotic love/nude scene that I first witnessed uncut and uncensored on regular cable TV (might've been PBS).  (A small collection of stills from that, if you're interested).

Now, in "Anna Karenina" she does have to demonstrate that she's the equal of hotness to Sophie Marceau, who did an Anna K movie in the last decade.  Unfortunately, the movie was a dud and didn't do justice to Sophie's intrinsic hotness factor.
