Knightley to follow Hepburn's Fair Lady?

Keira Knightley is reported to be in talks about starring in a remake of the 1964 classic 'My Fair Lady'.

Variety says Columbia Pictures is bringing the musical back to the big screen, but the studio did not comment on casting.

Audrey Hepburn starred in the original as Eliza Doolittle, the Cockney girl transformed by Professor Henry Higgins, an Oscar-winning performance by Rex Harrison.
