Lots of back and forth going on right now over the possibility/rumor of Scarlett Johansson picking up the role of Jenna Jameson the famous porn star in her biopic. Johansson was handpicked by Jameson for the role which means she totally beat me to the punch as I was going to ask her to play me in a non-upcoming, low budget biopic that mostly features me doing nothing.

The Sun was reporting earlier this week as though everything had already been secured:

Scarlett Johansson has landed her most explicit role yet - that of the world’s biggest porn star. The 22-year-old will take the lead role in the forthcoming, x-rated biopic of JENNA JAMESON. And legendary adult entertainer Jameson chose Scarlett specifically for the role. She explained, “I tapped up Scarlett for the part and I’m very excited about the film. “It was my decision not to play the role because I’ve lived that tale already and anyone can play themselves.” The film will be based on Jenna’s autobiography, How To Make Love Like A Porn Star.

The idea of Johansson showing up in an x-rated film, while certainly intriguing, sounded very unlikely to most of us. This included People which then followed up with their own report denouncing The Sun’s claims:

Despite circulating reports and Jenna Jameson’s hopes that the actress is just the right mix of sexy and mysterious, Scarlett Johansson will not portray the porn star in the film adaptation of her autobiography.

“Scarlett has never seen a script nor been approached about this project,” says a rep for the actress. “She also has no interest in playing this role.”

Hot damn. Looks like I might still have a chance afterall!
