Keira Knightley will reportedly not take the lead role in the new film version of My Fair Lady.

The 24-year-old actress, who was speculated to have won a starring role in the new film adaptation, has allegedly turned down the opportunity to play Eliza Doolittle.

Daily Mail columnist Baz Bamigboye said: "Keira was never officially offered the part and she is believed to have felt the project was taking too long to get off the ground."

Other actresses that have been linked to the project have included Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway.

Knightley has been confirmed to appear alongside Michael Fassbender and Christoph Waltz in David Cronenberg's The Talking Cure.
