Keira Knightley is back on the set, currently filming her new movie The Duchess at the London Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

The movie's theme is told to be: "A chronicle of the life of 18th century aristocrat Georgiana, duchess of Devonshire, an ancestor of Princess Diana who was alternately celebrated and reviled for her extravagant political and personal lives."

In the flick, which is adapted from Amanda Foreman’s biography of the duchess, the 22-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actress plays the lead role of Georgiana Cavendish.

Scheduled for release in 2008, other notable names co-starring with Keira include Ralph Fiennes and Dominic Cooper.
