There's just something about those British accents. We love to hear
them narrating nature documentaries, lambasting the establishment in
punk rock ballads, and professing their desire for the throne on HBO
dramas. And movies? Just toss anything from a cockney lilt to a
Downtonian affect onto the big screen, and we're sold. In the latest
crumpetastic news (is that offensive?), Keira Knightley has signed on to join the developing biographical drama
The Imitation Game, joining fellow charming Briton Benedict Cumberbatch, as reported by
Variety.
The project (which, you've got to admit, has the most Britishy-sounding title since
The Draughtsman's Contract)
will focus on the life and work of the United Kingdom's own Alan
Turing, a mathematical genius who proved a hero to the Allied Forces
during World War II but was persecuted by his own country due to his
homosexuality. The great Cumberbatch is playing Turing while Knightley's role is as of yet unspecified.
But we can bet it'll be a pleasure, at the very least, to listen to.
