Film producer Jerry Bruckheimer has revealed that it was “time to move on” from Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise. The Oscar-winning film producer, who worked with the stars on the first three movies in the popular series, has revealed there is no need for the A-list duo to appear in the fourth instalment as the stories of their characters Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann have already been told, reports femalefirst.co.uk. “The characters are after the Fountain of Youth, that’s the plot. We have no Orlando or Keira but you move on. They were great but I think it was time to move on – we’d told their stories,” said Bruckheimer.

Mulligan, 24, will be following in the footsteps of late actress Audrey Hepburn, who had played the part of Doolittle in 1964. Actress Emma Thompson, who wrote the script for the new version of the film, disclosed Mulligan’s involvement as she attended the premier of her latest Nanny McPhee film. “I think Carey is set to play it, yes,” the Telegraph quoted her as telling BBC Five Live. She also said that she was keen for actor Hugh Grant to play the role of Henry Higgins that had originally been performed by late actor Rex Harrison. “I love Hugh so I’d love him to do it. He might want to, he might not want to, so we don’t know yet. But hopefully we’ll make it later this year,” Thompson added.

The book, which was released in 2001, follows a love affair doomed by a child’s misunderstanding. Director Joe Wright’s movie, also starring James McAvoy, landed seven Oscar nominations and won the Academy Award for Best Original Score. Now writer McEwan is working on an operatic version with composer Michael Berkeley and poet Craig Raine – and he promises the finished show will be a grand affair. He says, “It’s not a chamber piece, that’s for sure.” Theatre owners in the U.K. Germany and the U.S. are reportedly interested in staging the Atonement opera and are eyeing a 2013 premiere.

Depp recently appeared at a press event for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland and advised Collider of a few things dealing with his upcoming projects including Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Rumors had been flying that his co-stars from the first three films, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, would not be returning for the fourth film. Then it even had gone as far as the duo to say they wouldn’t be coming back to play the roles of William Turner and Elizabeth Swann respectively. So when Collider got Depp in front of them, they made sure to find out the absolute truth. Depp said, “Yeah, there’s no Keira or Orlando in there. I don’t know. I don’t think we’d ever throw too much Jack Sparrow in there. There will be a little bit of everybody.” It will be interesting to see how they write out the parts of two of the biggest characters in the franchise, but it’s definitely going to be done. Pirates 4 is scheduled hit the high seas (and theaters) on May 20, 2011. Source: Collider.com

All the little Keiras and Ashtons named after them will grow up alongside Judes (after Jude Law) and Scarletts (Scarlett Johansson), names which also make the top ten. Other celebrity-inspired names include Paris, Alexa and Rihanna for girls and Leonardo, Romeo and Guy for boys, according to the internet family history website findmypast.com. Debra Chatfield, marketing manager at findmypast.com, said: ‘Families and names are all important to us. It is fascinating to see how certain names have shown strong staying power, while other names haven’t survived social change or celebrity association. ‘There has been a revival of more traditional British names becoming popular again in recent years, with parents naming their children after grandparents and great-grandparents to ensure family names survive. ‘Possibly this is a reflection of the recent growth in popularity of researching your family tree, but Brits are also showing their creative flair with a plethora of celebrity and globally inspired names too.’
