Production of the epic love story Anna Karenina has officially commenced, according to the film’s U.S. distributor Focus Features. Filming is taking place on location in both Russia and in the United Kingdom.
The project reunites actress Keira Knightley, who is playing the title character, with English director Joe Wright after the two previously worked together on Pride and Prejudice and Atonement. Knightley’s on-screen husband, the character Aleksei Karenin, is being portrayed by Jude Law. English actors Aaron Johnson and Matthew Macfadyen are also part of the cast.
The story of Anna Karenina has been adapted for film by Tom Stoppard from Leo Tolstoy‘s famous novel of the same name. The movie, which is being produced by Working Title Films, is expected to be released in the Fall of 2012.
It will be interesting to see what type of chemistry, if any, Keira and Jude have in their first feature film together.
