Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller, and Cillian Murphy star in The Edge of Love, a British WWII period piece whose synopsis sounds a lot more interesting than the trailer (after the jump):

The film centers around Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, his wife Caitlin and the curious real-life incident in which childhood friend Vera Phillips (Knightley) and her eventual husband William Killick opened fire on the Thomas home with a machine gun and a hand grenade. [RoS]

So I was watching the trailer, praying Keira Knightly would tuck in her goddamned bottom lip so that it doesn’t get shot off by a sniper, when she started whining “I love you,” exactly like she did in the Atonement trailer.  Almost on cue, the trailer flashed a review:  “This year’s Atonement, only better.” 

Hmm, you’re gonna have to be a little more specific.  That’s like saying, “It’s like the holocaust, but better.”  So yeah, Edge of Love.  On the fun scale it’ll fall somewhere between 5 million Jews dying and your niece’s 6th birthday party.   

Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow in Batman Begins) is joining the cast of Dali & I: The Surreal Story, alongside Al Pacino. I guess the surreal part will be seeing Al Pacino play Salvador Dali.

The movie, which will span the 1960s-80s, follows the time in Dali's life when most of his great work was behind him and he became more flamboyant. Dali (Pacino) also developed a mentor-protege relationship with a young art dealer named Stan Lauryssens, who will be played by Murphy.

Well sure, most men become more flamboyant in their old age.  I can still remember my grandfather mincing about the house, telling me to keep my feet off the davenport and asking me about my BMs.  He's dead now, but sometimes I visit his grave, leave him flowers and tell him about my BMs.   It's silly, really. Because I know he's still out there; watching over me, making sure I go BM.  [via Hollywood Reporter]
