I may poke a little bit of fun at Keira Knightley's expense on occassion for taking on so many period pieces, but one thing is for certain, she knows how to pick 'em. I loved Atonement and Pride and Prejudice and can't wait to see The Duchess, which hits theaters on September 26th, but will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7. The film is set in the late 18th century and is based on Georgiana Spencer, the Duchess of Devonshire, played by Keira Knightley. I have just added six new pictures from the film including the one teased above and they continue to show off the look and design of the costumes featured in the film and highly publicized on the film's official site. You can click here to check out the gallery.

I have also added new pictures from Ghost Town starring Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear and The Brothers Bloom starring Mark Ruffalo, Adrien Brody and Rachel Weisz and directed by Rian Johnson (Brick). You can click on either of those film titles to check out those galleries.

I have also learned a trailer for Loss of a Teardrop Diamond starring Bryce Dallas Howard is in the second page at the TIFF video gallery. The film is based on a long-forgotten Tennessee Williams screenplay.
