Speaking about the film Andrew Lowe of Element Pictures said:

“We are particularly pleased that Jordan [Scott, director] has cast two 13-year-old Dublin girls, with no previous drama experience, Adele McCann and Zoe Carroll, for two key roles.”

Her father’s company, Scott Free, is also among the producers of the film.

Keira’s ‘Atonement’ dress voted best film costume of all time

Keira Knightley’s green dress in her new film ‘Atonement’ has been voted the best film costume of all time in a poll conducted by Sky Movies and In Style magazine. The green silk gown beat classic favorites like Marilyn Munroe’s white dress from “The Seven Year Itch” and Audrey Hepburn’s ever-inspirational little black dress in ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s.’

Runners-up included the cult-inspiring skin-tight black leather pants worn by Olivia Newton-John in “Grease”, the blue gown worn by Kate Winslet in “Titanic” and Diane Keaton’s tie-and-waistcoat ensemble in’”Annie Hall.’

Nicole Kidman’s corset from Moulin Rouge, Liza Minnelli’s fishnet stocking and bowler hat costume from Cabaret, Cate Blanchett’s gown from “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” and Vivien Leigh’s memorable dresses from “Gone With the Wind” rounded up the top ten.
