Joe Wright, who helmed the BBC miniseries "Charles II," is directing a script originally penned by Deborah Moggach ("Tulip Fever") and rewritten by Lee Hall ("Billy Elliot"). Filming begins in July.
Knightley will play Elizabeth Bennet, the eldest of five sisters in a British family ruled by a mother determined to marry her daughters into money.
The Austen novel is also being transformed into helmer Gurinder Chadha's ("Bend It Like Beckham") upcoming Bollywood musical "Bride and Prejudice."
