Keira Knightley has been cast as The Sugar Plum Fairy in Lasse Hallstrom’s planned feature The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Variety reports.
There was a time, not that many years ago, when Keira Knightley — with a corset and a sword — helped make Walt Disney Studios a LOT of money.
The story, of course, inspired the brilliant Russian composer Tchaikovsky to compose his famous ballet The Nutcracker in 1892.
Well, Knightley’s getting back in the Disney fold, not for another Pirates adventure, but for a live-action adaptation of The Nutcracker — a marriage made in seasonal heaven.
