Joe Wright Definitely NOT Directing My Fair Lady 2010

Well, perhaps Keira Knightley is rethinking Joe Wright as her director for the 2010 reported remake of My Fair Lady.  Since our last posting, at least two news sources have reported that Wright is out of the project, though they speculate that Knightley is probably still considering it or being considered.  The Internet Movie Database reports that "Joe Wright directly contradicts reports from this past weekend that he'll be directing My Fair Lady."  And, CinemaBlend reports "Joe Wright definitely is not directing the film."  They say they have confirmation from him at the London Film Festival that reports of him directing My Fair Lady are 'all a lie.'"  The story continues:  "Interestingly, (Wright) couldn't say much about Knightley's participation-- 'Keira might well do it'-- which probably mean the years-old reports about Knightley being in the film are still valid."

We'll have to wait and see, for those of you that are Keira fans.

Below you can see Wright's rebuttal for yourself, per Screenrush, 
with apparent surprise that the story was percolating all over!  We'll keep you posted on developments...
