The New York Times is reporting that Christina Ricci has signed on to star in a pilot for Amazon.

“Z” is a Jazz Age show based on the life of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, the magnetic and erratic proto-flapper and wife of the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Christina Ricci stars as Zelda Sayre and Gavin Stenhouse (“Allegiance”) plays Scott. The show is written by Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin, both veterans of “The Killing,” and directed by Tim Blake Nelson. David Strathairn (“Good Night and Good Luck”) also stars as Zelda’s father.
