From Comingsoon.net:

Keira Knightley will play the 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire. An ancestor of Princess Di, she lived an extravagant, profligate and promiscuous life of political and romantic intrigue, becoming an important powerbroker amid Britain's ruling elite but also running up catastrophic gambling debts. She was alternately feted and reviled, and widely caricatured by the popular press.

Looks ****ing boring and looks like every other period piece movie of its nature.

It looks all right. It reminds me a little of Marie Antoinette, but not quite as interesting and unique. I'll see it nonetheless.

Knightley's starting to get typecast.

Starting? I can't remember the last time she played someone who was around in the last two centuries.
