EXCLUSIVE: CAA has just signed Keira Knightley. The actress is coming off the Joe Wright-directed Anna Karenina, and
next stars opposite Chris Pine in the franchise reboot Jack Ryan, and in the John Carney-directed Can A Song Save Your Life?
Knightley had been repped by WME. Her longtime agent, Adam Isaacs, recently left the agency to become a manager at The Schiff Company. Isaacs continues to rep her, as manager at Schiff Co., and she’s repped from the UK by Lindy King at United Agents.
Knightley, whose breakout film was Bend It Like Beckham, has starred in films including Love Actually, Pride And Prejudice, Atonement and the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise.
Loading ...
Days like this, it’s tough to be a UTA employee.
Other than Pirates which is over, who cares about 10% of that career?
Quite a few people care about it, IC. Just because those movies aren’t your cup of tea doesn’t mean everyone feels that way. Now you may go back to watching Transformers.
She’s insanely beautiful and superbly talented. She’s one of those actresses that should be headlining huge hits and winning big awards, yet always somehow slides under the radar. So if CAA can make that happen when WME couldn’t, I say good luck to them and her!
Kudos to that.
More like Isaacs needed to deliver some business to CAA to show he was not a partisan manager…
No, Knightley is not supremely talented. Now, her former Atonement co-star, Saoirse Ronan, is supremely talented. After Ronan auditioned for The Hunger Games, she should have been cast as Katniss Everdeen. Saoirse would have brought complexity and depth to the role, that Jennifer Lawrence couldn’t bring to Katniss.
This comment ended much differently than I was expecting when I began reading it from the top.
“No, Knightley is not supremely talented” Yes she is. Go back to your Transformers and precious Avengers movies my friend. You have no business watching real cinematic films.
Oh, then that happened. You’re welcome.
I hope Hylda Queally is going to rep her there!
The way CAA is signing EVERYbody, wonder if a big agent is leaving to Resoulution or making up for Oprah? hmmmmm
Oh, c’mon…great sign of a unique persona whose career could use some topspin.
Oh, she is unique alright!
Brandt Joel looses yet another client. CAA is killing it right now, Chris Pine, Chris Hemsworth and now Keira. Very impressive.
Adam left WME? Their loss is Schiff’s gain. Quite frankly I couldn’t give a C*** about Keira and her chin, although I find it interesting that she is now at the same agency as Carey Mulligan…
Your post was spot on
