Keira Knightley wanted for “Jurassic” Sequel
July 28, 2003 | Filed in: Uncategorized

Young British star Keira Knightley is poised to sign for a role that will see her soar into the Hollywood ’superleague’. The Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl actress is wanted by superstar director Steven Spielberg to take a leading role in the fourth Jurassic Park blockbuster. Keira, 18, gushes, “It was so amazing because I’ve been a big fan of the original film for years. Steven said he liked my work in Bend It Like Beckham and wanted to meet me. I think Sam Neill really pushed for me as well, because we had worked together before on Doctor Zhivago. There were actually two roles in Jurassic Park IV that Steven thought I might fit. First there was the granddaughter part. The other was substantially larger but I won’t go into any details in case I make Steven angry.” In-demand Keira has also signed up with Spielberg’s Dreamworks production company for a role opposite Jude Law in book adaptation Tulip Fever.
