Keira Knightley in The Woman In Cabin 10As we all head inside in the winter months, there’s nothing quite like a new thriller to keep us entertained, and Netflix’s new offering sees Keira Knightley take the lead in The Woman In Cabin 10.The new movie follows on last year’s spy action thriller Black Doves, in which the British actor starred alongside Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire, scooping a Golden Globe nomination and heaps of praise in the process.Based on the best-selling 2017 novel by Ruth Ware, The Woman In Cabin 10 takes place aboard a lavish yacht with Keira playing journalist Laura “Lo” Blacklock who has been placed on a travel assignment. A cushty job quickly turns into a gaslighting nightmare, though, when she witnesses someone being flung overboard. However, with all the passengers accounted for and nobody believing her, Lo has to uncover the truth herself.Keira isn’t the only star booking in the cast, though, with plenty of other recognisable faces appearing in the film.Here’s where you might have seen them before…Keira KnightleyKeira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride And PrejudiceAn actor with plenty of hits under her belt, Keira first made her breakthrough in the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham where she starred opposite Parminder Nagra as Jules, a talented young footballer.Then came Love Actually, where she was instrumental in one of the key “creepy or romantic?” storylines playing Juliet, a newlywed whose husband’s best friend was secretly in love with her.Later she became a blockbuster stalwart as Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series opposite Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, before playing a very different Elizabeth as she picked up the mantle as Pride And Prejudice’s Elizabeth Bennett in 2005, earning her an Oscar nomination.Keira then went on to act in a collection of other period films like an adaptation of Atonement, The Duchess, The Imitation Game and, more recently, Colette and Boston Strangler.Chances are you’ll have seen her on your screen in the Netflix thriller series Black Doves, which dropped around Christmas last year.Guy PearceGuy Pearce in Christopher Nolan s MementoLike many great actors from Down Under, Guy Pearce started his acting career on Aussie soap Neighbours before a breakout role in the 1994 drag comedy The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert. Guy then went on to star in a series of critically acclaimed thrillers like L.A.
