Dylan Thomas

Wow, the trailer for The Edge of Love (previously titled The Best Time of Our Lives) looks breathtakingly beautiful. The film follows the true story of a love triangle between the poet Dylan Thomas (played by Brothers and Sisters' Matthew Rhys!), his wife Caitlin (Sienna Miller) and a woman named Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley). Vera eventually married William Killick (the ever-chilling Cillian Murphy) but still couldn't tear herself away from her poet — despite becoming close friends with Caitlin. In the strange real-life story, the jealous William ultimately attacked Dylan and Caitlin's house.

Comparisons could be made to Atonement, for sure, as the visual tone of the film has that same sweeping, desperate romance (and the hair, makeup and costume artists have done an impeccable job on this film as well). Knightley even says her husky "Come back" in the trailer. But it also looks distinctly, grippingly different. Especially for those of you who enjoyed Becoming Jane, or any number of other dramatic films about writers' lives, you must treat yourself to this extremely beautiful trailer.

There's no U.S. release date yet (sad!) but the film premieres at the Edinburgh Film Festival on June 18 and opens elsewhere in the UK June 20. To watch the trailer, read more

One tabloid darling will replace another in the film about poet Dylan Thomas, The Best Times of Our Lives. Lindsay Lohan had been chosen to play the part of Thomas' wife Caitlin MacNamara, yet she dropped out when the film's financiers couldn't come to a deal with her.

Second choice is Sienna Miller who will now be working opposite Keira Knightley, Cillian Murphy and Matthew Rhys. Variety says:

Scripted by Knightley's playwright mother Sharman Macdonald, pic is based on a rivalry between two women over the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (Rhys). Miller will play his wife, Caitlin MacNamara, and Knightley plays his childhood friend Vera Phillips.

This is the second time in recent history when Lohan has been replaced in a film, having walked away from Tennessee Williams' The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, in which Bryce Dallas Howard took her place.
