Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night , a novel about a marriage disintegrating in the South of France.

In a new interview with the Independent , Knightley explains why she waived her normal fee to take part in this relatively obscure project.   Keira Knigthley in Maze (source: The Independent Film ) "I loved the idea of doing something that was purely creative, weird and wonderful and not a commercial venture," she said. "Ideas were e-mailed and then developed at Stuart's studio over cupcakes and tea and under the skeleton of his dog and a film piece was decided on: a collision of our worlds." ' Maze ,' which was shot last year in true low-budget fash
