Keira Knightley has found time to play a part in a movie written by her mother.

The news comes after concerns the Oscar-nominee would not be able to fit The Best Time Of Our Lives into her schedule, despite being keen to work with her playwright mother Sharman Macdonald.

Filming was set for this summer but has been delayed until next January to accommodate Knightley.
