Keira Knightley is to star in the sci-fi thriller Never Let Me Go for Fox Searchlight, which I would love to see her do as a nice change in genre.

Mark Romanek is set to direct the movie, which is a cloning-themed story, that also stars Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan.

Shooting starts in April in London and Norfolk, England.

According to Variety, the story focuses on a trio of friends who grew up in a boarding school with no contact or knowledge of the outside world until they discover they are clones grown for the sole purpose of organ donation.
