Knightley and Mulligan Join Forces to Never Let Me Go!

The trailer for an upcoming Brit film called Never Let Me Go was recently released and it looks, to say the least, very intriguing.
Two of our most cherished Brit actresses, Keira Knightley (The Duchess) and Carey Mulligan (An Education), will share the silver screen in the dramatic thriller. The cast also features English actors Andrew Garfield, Domhnall Gleeson, and Sally Hawkins. Garfield, along with Mulligan, was featured on the telly series Doctor Who; Gleeson is to play Bill Weaseley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; and Sally Hawkins previously worked with Mulligan in An Education. Hawkins also played the lead character of Poppy in the successful independent film Happy-Go-Lucky (one of my personal favorites.)
Never Let Me Go is based on an award-winning novel of the same name that was written by Japanese-born British author Kazuo Ishiguro. The movie was primarily filmed in the countryside of Norfolk County, England and tells the story of three friends, Kathy (Mulligan), Ruth (Knightley), and Tommy (Garfield), who reunite years after attending a strange English boarding school together and proceed to uncover the dark mysteries of their shared past. The film is slated to be released at the end of 2010 and will be distributed in the US by Fox Searchlight Pictures.
I am curious to see just how interested American audiences will be in this very British artistic-looking sci-fi/drama/thriller film… only time will tell…
