HOLLYWOOD - Keira Knightley is in discussions to play Zelda in Nick Cassavetes’ The Beautiful and the Damned, the period love story about the relationship between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda Sayre. Production is looking to start in April, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Damned revolves around Zelda and Fitzgerald, who were Jazz Age icons and tempestuous lovers.
Damned was Fitzgerald’s second novel and was published in 1922. Hanna Weg wrote the screenplay for the latest screen adaptation.
Damned would be yet another period piece for Knightley who next stars in The Duchess, following on such films as Atonement and Pride & Prejudice. Cassavetes directed the love story The Notebook in 2004. His next film to be released is My Sister’s Keeper with Cameron Diaz
