Atonement, the new film starring Keira Knightley will be released in cinemas Autumn 2007.

Joe Wright and Paul Webster, the director/producer team behind 'Pride & Prejudice', have reunited for this adaptation, joined by Keira Knightley, who will play Cecilia.
'Atonement' has been adapted for the screen by Christopher Hampton (The Quiet American) and also features James McAvoy (The Chronicles of Narnia, The Last King Of Scotland) as Robbie Turner, Saoirse Ronan who plays Briony at thirteen, Brenda Blethyn (Pride & Prejudice, Little Voice) as Grace and Vanessa Redgrave.

On the hottest day of the summer of 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis sees her older sister Cecilia strip off her clothes and plunge into the fountain in the garden of their country house. Watching Cecilia is their housekeeper's son Robbie Turner, a childhood friend who, along with Briony's sister, has recently graduated from Cambridge.

By the end of that day the lives of all three will have been changed forever. Robbie and Cecilia will have crossed a boundary they had never before dared to approach and will have become victims of the younger girl's scheming imagination, and Briony will have committed a dreadful crime, the guilt for which will colour her entire life.
