Casting news for Anna Karenina (2012)

Here are some new names unofficially attached to the upcoming Anna Karenina feature film due out next year to be directed by Joe Wright (Pride and Prejudice, Atonement) with screenplay by Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love, Vatel).

(Benedict Cumberbatch was previously named as part of the cast but unsure if that's still the case since he's not mentioned in this more recent article. Saoirse Ronan is also mentioned as part of the cast but from what I've read previously, this looked like it would be a scheduling conflict so waiting for official confirmation of cast.)

Keira Knightley (Anna Karenina)
Aaron Johnson (Count Vronsky)

Casting updates for the proposed remake of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina..

We heard about this new adaptation a while back and it actually seems to be moving forward with more cast members being named.

Keira Knightley will reteam with director Joe Wright who worked with her in Atonement. Word out right now is that he's also hoping to lasso from the same film, James McAvoy and Saoirse Ronan but their involvement is up in the air.
