"Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell have reportedly signed on to star in a film loosely based on Sunset Boulevard.  According to the Daily Mail, the actors will team up for London Boulevard, inspired by the 1950 Billy Wilder classic.  Knightley will play a reclusive actress who lives in Holland Park, while Farrell will star as a criminal who has recently been released from prison.  &amp;quot;[The actress] is pursued by photographers, she takes medications and slowly retreats from the world, shutting herself away until this man from the wrong side of the tracks comes into her life,&amp;quot; said one of the film&amp;#039;s executives.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s like a beauty and the beast tale.&amp;quot; The script was penned by Bill Monahan, who won an Oscar for The Departed, and was reportedly described by Knightley as a &amp;quot;cautionary tale&amp;quot;.  Monahan will also direct the movie with The Departed&amp;#039;s Graham King producing.  Filming is scheduled to begin around May at various locations across London and the Home Counties.
