Keira Knightley is not playing Eliza Doolittle. I know some of you will breathe a huge sigh of relief over this (myself included). Perhaps at one time she was attached to the project, or at least hoped she would be cast, as director Joe Wright, who has worked with Keira on both Atonement and Pride and Prejudice, was once on board to direct Lady. But he is off now, and so is any thought of Keira as Eliza.
Carey Mulligan is not playing Eliza either. Though she is linked to the project on IMDb, and screenwriter Emma Thompson herself said that Carey had been definitively cast via The Guardian, poor befuddled Carey herself shoots down that pesky rumor in an interview on Collider.Daniel Day-Lewis isn't playing Henry Higgins, and neither is Hugh Grant. Just to clarify.
In short, no one has signed on yet, as far as anyone can tell, and the only thing that is for certain is that there is a screenplay, and Emma Thompson wrote it. Beyond that, just gossip. Also, remember that this remake has been in the works for ages now, much like the infamous Why Can't I Be Audrey Hepburn?

The script may be to poor and dull - although no actor and director seam to be heard - or wiling to say anything about it in public. What other good reason can it be that so many great people have left this possibly great project ?
Joe Wright, Keira Knightley, Daniel Day Lewis, Geoffry
Hudges... they will all join this remake if they get the
right conditions and script - so just carry on with a positive delay so to make this truly elegant and great!
Why can`t the English...

This makes me blue- and that`s for true - and so seams you - what can I do?
How many times must I say this, Sir Henry ? How many times?
