Keira Knightley: Might play lead role in 'Safe Haven'

Keira Knightley is reportedly in negotiations for the lead role in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks's 'Safe Haven'.

The star would play Katie in the highly-anticipated movie, according to Twitch Film.

Safe Haven centres on a haunted young woman who moves to the small town of Southport, North Carolina in order to escape the secrets of her past. There, she meets two people - the widowed store owner Alex and her single neighbour Jo - who will change her life forever.

The actress can next be seen in the apocalyptic comedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.
