Scarlett Johansson to Play Jenna Jameson in Porn Film?

Well, maybe not. Despite reports that seems to confirm this (most notably this one by British site The Sun Online), Scarlett Johansson’s reps have told People.com, “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.” The “casting news” seems to come from one source — Jenna Jameson, who has been saying for months (or is that years?) that she’s wanted Johansson to play her in a movie about her.

This is what Jameson said about Johannsson possibly assaying the part of her in the upcoming biographical movie (to be called “Heartbreaker”, and will be based on Jameson’s autobiography “How to Make Love like a Porn Star”):

“I remember thinking to myself, this girl has such a sexuality without even really trying to be sexy,” Jameson said. “I was like, ‘This girl could play me.’ ”

Though she has met Johansson only briefly, Jameson said the encounter left quite an impression. “I love her,” Jameson said. “She’s amazing. She’s smart, she’s funny. … She’s stunning.”

Sounds to me like Jameson doesn’t just want Johansson to play her in the movie, but she wants to, er, play with Johansson, too, if you know what I mean.

Scarlett Johansson as Jenna Jameson will probably never happen, which is too bad, because according to Jameson, the movie has to be explicit to be real. Says the porn princess:

“It has to be. Not because we want to draw male fans. Because I want to tell the true story.”

Oh, what could have been…
