British actress Keira Knightley will film her new movie in Croatia this spring.

Croatian daily newspaper Jutarnji List has reported that Knightley will play the role of Zelda, the wife of American writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald, in a movie about his life.

The movie "The Beautiful and the Damned" will be filmed in capital Zagreb and in former Austro-Hungarian holiday resort Opatija on the northern Adriatic coast.

The newspaper has speculated that Hollywood star Leonardo Di Caprio may play the role of Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
