Actress Keira Knightley is reportedly in talks to play French novelist Colette in a new biopic. Colette will be directed by Still Alice's Wash Westmoreland, who co-wrote the script with his late collaborator Richard Glatzer. Colette, real name Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948. Her best known work is the novella Gigi, which was the basis for the film and stage play of the same name. She was also an actress.
