She is known to use the alias "Elizabeth Turner", but this later becomes her married name when she weds Will Turner.Įlizabeth is the only child to Weatherby Swann, the love interest (later wife) to Will Turner, mother to Henry Turner and daughter-in-law to William “Bootstrap Bill” Turner.Įlizabeth is a spirited, intelligent, and independent-minded character whose beauty attracted Will Turner, James Norrington, Sao Feng, and Captain Jack Sparrow. She is portrayed by Keira Knightley (and as a child by Lucinda Dryzek in the prologue of The Curse of the Black Pearl). She appears in The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and three of its sequels, Dead Man's Chest (2006), At World's End (2007) and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017). 23.Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's EndĮlizabeth Turner (née Swann) is a fictional character in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. “A Dangerous Method” will hit theaters on Nov. “Anna Karenina” is about to begin production for a 2012 release. It”s an amazing thing when you find people who you”ve worked with once and there is a collaborative spirit and an energy. I”ve worked with John Maybury a couple of times and got a couple of other directors who were looking for other projects as well. Knightley continues, “You know, I think it”s a personal thing. But we”ve had a great time the other two times we”ve work together.” You never know, it needs a bit of the wind in the right direction and a bit of luck and everything. We”re working really hard at the moment and hopefully ‘Anna Karenina’ will work. And I don”t know why it works between me and Joe. “When you find directors, you find creative collaborations that really work. It”s a bit like Viggo and David ,” Knightley says. What about Wright’s directing style makes the two ladies so keen on working with him? Knightley’s thoughts on that difficult role will be visited closer to the film’s release, but she was clearly excited about the recent announcement she’ll soon be working again with her “Atonement” and “Pride & Prejudice” helmer Joe Wright on a new version of “Anna Karenina.” The film will also star Saoirse Ronan who will also be marking her third collaboration with Wright after “Atonement” and “Hanna” (which Knightley admitted she still hadn’t been able to catch). Instead, Knightley has been stretching her acting talents in dramas such as “Never Let Me Go,” “London Boulevard,” “Last Night” and her acclaimed performance in David Cronenberg’s “A Dangerous Method” which is screening at the festival. And I sort of feel like I”ve done the pirating thing, as wonderful as it was and it was amazing.” And, you know, they are amazing people, but I”ve always wanted to act because I like changing. And that”s quite a large chunk of time there. It was an extraordinary experience, you know, but I was 17 when I started it and 21 when I finished. I knew that that was going to be it for me. I mean, they were already shooting the third one at that time. I said when the second one came out that there wasn”t going to be another one for me. Knightley smiles again and without flinching replies. Knowing moviegoers might have company in hoping she might return I followed up with, “If Johnny Depp called up and says, ‘Come on, please just make a cameo?'” Speaking to Knightley at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival on Sunday, this journalist couldn’t even propose a return for the expected fifth and sixth installment without an immediate “No” from Knightley’s smiling lips.

Knightley in particular developed quite a rapport with series star Johnny Depp in the last two pictures. One of the big reasons why may have been the absence of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom who appeared in the first three films. TORONTO – “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” may have grossed over $1 billion across the globe, but most critics despised it and it didn’t have the same spark with American audiences.
