Apparently Luhrmann and David Fincher aren't the only ones with their eyes set on Fitzgerald. Today's Shelf Awareness reports that John Curran (The Painted Veil and We Don't Live Here Anymore) is adapting The Beautiful and The Damned for film.
Fitzgerald's semi-autobiographical novel tells what happens when the beautiful elite party too hearty in New York City. Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda Sayre are renamed Anthony and Gloria Patch in the book, but it looks like the film may be using the author and his wife's actual names. According to both Variety and IMDB, Kiera Knightly is cast as Zelda Sayre. No word yet on who will play the Fitzgerald character.
The film, set in the roaring twenties, is scheduled for a 2010 release.
