All That Jazz

Nick Cassavetes has signed on to direct a period love story based on "The Beautiful and Damned" says The Hollywood Reporter.

The film will chronicle the relationship of author F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda . Keira Knightley is in discussions to play Zelda.

The couple were icons of the Jazz Age known for living large, soaring high and crashing hard....

Although toasts of town in the 1920s, their courtship and marriage was fraught with jealousy and strife . Fitzgerald used their relationship as material for his novels, and Zelda-- who tried hard to find an artistic identity of her own and ended up being admitted to a sanitarium .

Hanna Weg is scripting.

Production is scheduled to begin April '09.
