The gothic period drama, which was scheduled to begin filming in six weeks, is going on hiatus while Knightley's role is recast. The actress' spokesperson says that because of a coronavirus spike in the UK, "there wasn't a comfortable scenario for Keira that could be put in place for an extended period of childcare required for the four-and-a-half-month production."
