Earlier this year, it was reported that Knightley was competing against Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway for the lead role, which was originally played by Audrey Hepburn.
Joe Wright, who worked with Knightley on Pride and Prejudice and Atonement, will direct the movie. Shooting is expected to begin later this year.
"Joe and Keira are looking forward to working together again immensely," said a friend of the helmer.
Knightley, who has frequently spoken about her passion for appearing in a remake of the 1964 classic, reportedly took up singing lessons earlier this year.
