Is someone nervous about the potential success of Joe Wright’s take on Anna Karenina, starring Keira Knightly? Following the first trailer, we were treated to a six-minute clip, introduced by the director. Just one week later we have a behind-the-scenes “feaurette,” aimed at making us understand that this is not just another costume drama. Keira Knightly claims in a voice over, “The rules of a period film have been completely broken,” adding, “What is the point in doing a safe adaptation?”

The movie doesn’t open until Nov. 9th. Plenty of time for more trailers, featurettes and clips.

See our earlier post for information on the tie-in and links to stories about the various translations of Tolstoy’s classic.
