Knightley & DiCaprio in Zagreb and Opatija

Description:

“The Beautiful and the Damned” is ready to begin filming at last !!

Keira Knightly will play wildwoman Zelda Fitzgerald in this picture based on F Scott Fitzgerald’s life. Rumours are that Leonardo di Caprio will play F Scott but its yet to be confirmed .

Croatians will be excited to hear that portions of the film will be shot in Zagreb and Opatija.

( possibly using them as substitutes for Paris and Nice? where the Fitzgeralds spent a lot of their time - usually drinking)

Due to its dramatic coastal scenery and stunning architecture Opatija is often called “Croatia’s Nice” but Zagreb as Paris ? who knows ? they can do wonders with camera angles now days!!

Shooting is scheduled to begin this spring and should shed a well-deserved spotlight on two of Croatia’s most underrated destinations
