STAR TALK: Keira speaks about the final franchise of the Pirates movie, her character Elizabeth Swann and more (Agencies)

You will find Keira Knightley running, at full pelt, through the alleyways and across bridges in the seedy red lantern district of old Singapore which has been painstakingly recreated on a massive studios sound stage in Hollywood. Here, Keira speaks about the final franchise of the Pirates movie, her character Elizabeth Swann and more...

How is working on Pirates 2 and 3 compared to the first film?

It has been weird because I can't even remember where we started. I guess we started in February and it felt like the last two years had never happened and we have been working on Pirates of the Caribbean the entire time. (laughs) But it has been great. It's a long haul, as I said. I have never done anything for so long as this, which makes it different.

Have you kind of picked from where you had left?

Yes, pretty much. We have got these fantastic sets, it's exactly the same crew with a couple of additions, the same cast, director, writers and producers. So, it really is like we never finished doing the first one and we have just continued.

Have you done training for the role?

We are doing a big fight scene in the studio at the moment which is one of the reasons why I am not working because it takes so bloody long (laughs). But, we have done a lot of that and it was good, I did a couple of weeks training at the beginning of filming but the stunt guys were great. And I think, we all picked it up pretty quick.

Do you enjoy the time you film in the Caribbean or do you prefer being here in LA?

I prefer being here in LA. We go to some very beautiful places, I think you do end up getting island fever specially if you are going to the tourist islands. But, I'm enjoying being in LA, as I am a city girl so I like cities.

Does your mum come out here with you?

She is out here with me at the moment because I am doing so much press. I don't have a weekend off for the next six weeks.

Does she manage your career?

No, she has never done that. She's a writer and she's there only to hand me a cup of coffee occasionally. A lot has happened in your career since the first Pirates film. Yeah, I've got a bigger trailer! (laughs).

What else did you do when you had time off in the Bahamas?

I read a biography on Lucrezia Borgia, and many scripts.

How do you choose a film?

I don't know, it's just whatever catches my fancy. If it is a film I think I would want to see and then that's kind of a good way to judge it. But it just depends. I don't pick it by genre, if I read a good comedy and I say 'Oh yeah, I'd really like to be a part of that...'. I don't really have a plan, it just jumps out to me.

Is there a sense that because the first Pirates was such a big hit that you have to match it or better it this time?

For me personally, no. I think there is a certain amount of pressure because it was so loved and you kind of want to make it as good as you possibly can.

How was it to work with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom?

They are very nice and great. I love to watch Johnny work, as it's masterful. It's like taking an acting master class. And I have known Orlando for a long time. He's my mate.
