Keria Knightley had best dust off her corset as she will again star in a period film - this time a big screen adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear.
The Atonement star will play Cordelia, the young daughter of the King - who is played by Sir Anthony Hopkins.
The $35 million production will also star Gwyneth Paltrow as the King's treacherous middle daughter. No casting news as yet on who will play Goneril - the evil eldest child.
Producers have promised that the film, which revolves around the tale of an ageing king's decision to divide his land between his three daughters, will feature epic battle sequences.
It will be the first film outing for King Lear since the 1999 movie, which starred Brian Blessed as the King.
