Keira Knightley has been cast in The Best Time of Our Lives for John Maybury who directed her in the crummy little film The Jacket.
The is film is based on a screenplay written by Knightley’s mother concerning the background to a real-life incident in 1945 involving Dylan Thomas, his wife Caitlin and another couple: Vera Phillips (Knightley), who was Thomas’s childhood friend, and her husband William Killick.
The film is set to begin filming next April, a week after Easter.
