Carey Mulligan a My Fair Lady?
26 March 2010
The remake of My Fair Lady has attracted rumours for its lead, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley have been considered but according to Empire, Emma Thompson confirmed that her An Education co-star Carey Mulligan will take on the leading role of Eliza Doolittle.
Since Thompson wrote the new version of the musical, she's more likely to know than some tenuously connected source, and she was talking to BBC, which means it wasn't some second hand whisper.
However, there's no official confirmation as of yet.
