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

Croatian daily newspaper Jutarnji List 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 the holiday resort Opatija on the northern Adriatic coast, according to movie website imdb.com.

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

Last year, an episode in the fifth series of the British cult show Doctor Who was filmed in the Croatian coastal town of Trogir.
