Last Night will close the
Toronto Film Festival on September 19th, it was announced
today. An official release schedule surely can't be far off? It's been
a long time coming, but kudos to Filmyard for getting this on the slate
so soon after acquiring the remains of Miramax. The article also mentions
London Boulevard but it's hard to tell if it's just a round-up of Keira's
forthcoming movies - it doesn't appear in the line-up.
So that's four premieres in six weeks for Keira: two at Toronto FF, one
at London FF and the London Boulevard premiere somewhere in early October.

Here's a great article
on the casting and adaptation of London Boulevard from book to screen.
June 7th
London Boulevard looks set
for an October 15th UK release. A couple of reliable film databases now
have this date published. An October 1st limited US release of Never Let
Me Go, already reported by Mark Romanek, suggests a busy September on the
promo circuit for Keira, and premieres to follow in quick succession.

This, apparently, is the
first official publicity
pic for London Boulevard although it's nothing new to most people who
keep an eye on Keira-related pics
or the Youtube phone camera videos
from the set. But at least it's the first stage towards an actual release!
Still no date set, and I doubt anything will appear before the World Cup's
over in mid-July now.

EXCLUSIVE:
After correspondence with Keira's
agent today I can announce the following:
- Keira is no longer attached to
King Lear as the whole project has been shelved. Very sad news indeed,
and the second Ruby Films project Keira has seen mothballed - remember
Tulip Fever ?
- Keira will play Lillian Palmer
(the reclusive actress) in London Boulevard. I had wondered if she would
play the love interest Aisling instead.

Keira's role in London Boulevard, with a summer shoot mentioned.
