Domino is a 2005 action thriller film currently in post-production, starring Keira Knightley as Domino Harvey, a former model who abandoned her career at the Ford Agency to become a bounty hunter. It was directed by Tony Scott and written by Richard Kelly, and is set for release on October 14, 2005 [1]. The latest release date change was not a result of the death of Harvey herself in West Hollywood on June 27, 2005.

Background

While Harvey had sold the rights to her life story for £26,000 in 1997 [2], Tony Scott had already optioned those rights in 1993 [3]. Scott developed the project for many years with several different writers [4], including Steve Barancik [5] and Roger Avary [6]. At one point in the nineties, actress Sharon Stone was attached to play the lead, but production was postponed, leading to her departure from the project [7]. In late 2002, Scott met up with Richard Kelly, who was reportedly the fifth writer to have been attached to the film. Scott was impressed by the take on the story that Kelly had proposed [8], and in October of that year, an official announcement was made that the film was going ahead, with 20th Century Fox producing [9]. However, Scott had also been given the opportunity to helm Man on Fire, another project that he had been gestating for years [10], which left Domino stuck in development once more.

During post-production on Man on Fire in late 2003/early 2004, Richard Kelly confirmed that Tony Scott was considering making Domino his next feature film [11]. The following August, New Line Cinema issued a press release stating that the studio had acquired the North American distribution rights to the film, and that Keira Knightley had been cast in the lead role [12]. Further casting announcements regarding supporting performers were made in late September and early October [13] [14]. Filming began on October 4, 2004, took place in Los Angeles and Las Vegas [15], and concluded on December 21, 2004 [16], a day over schedule [17]. The film was made on a production budget of £30 million [18], or $57 million. [19]

In late February 2005, New Line Cinema released the official logo artwork for the film, which featured Keira Knightley's name perched above the film's title in yellow capital letters against a black background [32]. Approximately one month later, the film's trailer received its internet premiere at Yahoo! Movies [33]. The reception to it was mixed; internet movie guru Harry Knowles called it "just a hint, a taste...a bit of sauce on the end of gourmet chef's spoon to tantalize and savor" [34], but the British tabloid newspaper The Independent said that it "rapidly descends into a crass series of montages" [35], while Joshua Tyler of the website Cinema Blend commented, "I’m not sure they [New Line] actually want anyone to see it [the film], if that godawful, seizure inducing trailer is any indication." [36] The official website for the film launched a few days later, and contained only a streaming version of the trailer [37], but in late June, it was modified to include statements made by Tony Scott and Samuel Hadida in response to the death of Domino Harvey on June 27, 2005 [38].

On July 15, 2005, Tony Scott premiered a new trailer for Domino in front of an audience at the annual San Diego Comic Con convention [39].
