19 February 2016
Sought after British Oscar nominated Actress Keira Knightley has reportedly signed on to star in the Barbra Streisand Directed Catherine the Great biopic.
The Hollywood Reporter report that Knightley who was last seen in The Imitation Game and Everest is in talks to star in a biopic about the Russian empress.
Catherine came to power after the convenient assassination of her estranged husband Peter III, and went on to revitalise Russia over her 34-year reign.
As well as being a musical and acting legend, Streisand is also the only woman to ever win a Golden Globe for Best Director.
Knightley will soon be working on David Frankel's Collateral Beauty alongside Will Smith, Kate Winslet and Dame Helen Mirren.
