In Keira Knightley’s upcoming film, “The Edge of Love” – a love triangle based on the life of famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas – the mostly emaciated British waif plays one of the women vying for his affections (and has a bathtub scene with her rival, Dylan’s wife as played by Sienna Miller for all you boyz out there, fyi).
Matthew Rhys stars as Thomas, Cillian Murphy co-stars and Knightley does croons a bunch of songs in the the film and the movie and soundtrack are both expected later this summer. The “Edge of Love” soundtrack will feature Suggs from Madness (“Hang Out The Stars In Indiana“) and song written by Maybury and Angelo Badalamenti sung by Banshee Siouxsie Sioux, Beth Rowley and Patrick Wolf.
But really, is it in Knightley’s contract to basically say, “I love you, come back to me!” forlornly in every film? Man, the British really love their historical, over-the-top melodrama. One quote says, “Like ‘Atonement’ only better.” More like, “looks exactly like “Atonement,” but may feature sex scene worth waiting one hour and twenty minutes for (offer not guaranteed; results may vary).
