Based on the classic ballet by Peter Tchaikovsky and E.T.A. Hoffmann, Disney?s adaptation of "The Nutcracker" is looking to add yet another piece to its cast. Joining ballerina Misty Copeland and Morgan Freeman, the project has now set its sights on Keira Knightley, who is reportedly in talks to play the Sugar Plum Fairy. The project - to be directed by Lasse Hallstrom of "Chocolat" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" fame - will be titled "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms," and will feature the beloved "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" - considered not only one of the signature pieces of "the Nutcracker" itself, but also one of the highlights of ballet in general.
