In this year's "Domino", Keira Knightley portrays real life bounty hunter Domino Harvey, daughter of acclaimed "Manchurian Candidate" actor Laurence Harvey, and a woman who chose the hunting life as an alternative to modeling. In a recent set visit by LatinoReview, Knightley spoke about taking on the role:
"I mean, the moment that I read the script, I thought, 'This is so cool,'. It's really a black comedy. It's a black, black, black comedy, really dark and nasty and all the rest of it. But there's something about it, you read it and you're just completely swept up in it. At that point I knew that I was doing Pride and Prejudice and I got a real kick out of the idea of going from Elizabeth Bennett to Domino. I think that the whole concept of the story, the whole idea of this girl who's from an extremely privileged background who completely turns her back on all of it and goes off on this wild path is an extraordinary idea in itself. Then there's the fact that a lot of it is based on reality. That's fascinating. So I just thought that the whole thing was amazing."
Knightley had to learn many different weapons: "Nunchucks was the big one. Guns. I think that I do a couple of knife throws or one knife throw. And I'm just punching people in the face really. I've got to tell you how I got this [mark on my chest]. I was shooting two machine guns. It was fantastic." More big stunts are already planned such as flipping a Winnebago.
