Into the Night

Taking a cue from TV’s Lost, Keira Knightley is flash-forwarding into the future from her period-drama past to star in the modern-day rom-dram Last Night as a married New York writer who runs into an old flame (Guillaume Canet) while her husband is on a business trip with a very attractive co-worker (Eva Mendes).

First-time director Massy Tadjedin wouldn’t say if any cheating or anything else goes down during the movie, which unfolds over a 36-hour period, but said that Knightley’s character does consider her choices in her life and her marriage.

“It’s a good, strong marriage,” Tadjedin said. “But even the best marriages can be tested.”

Playing with fire gets your burn, and I’m really looking forward to seeing Knightley go up in flames (figuratively, of course).
