Holmes to play Victoria Beckham
Actress Katie Holmes is apparently being lined up to play Victoria in a film about the Beckhams' rise to fame.
Holmes and her fiance Tom Cruise are close friends with the British pair, but while movie bosses were keen to cast the 'Batman Begins' star, Cruise will not be playing Beckham because of their "marked physical differences."
Paramount pictures optioned the idea of a film based on the former England Captain, before they parted ways with Cruise.
A Hollywood insider told British newspaper The Daily Star: "Tom has a brilliant grasp of what the public want to see and thought David's story was wonderful.
"A football star emerges from humble origins, there's drama within the matches and romance in his love affair with Victoria at the height of her pop star fame.
"At the time Tom was seeing quite a lot of David and Victoria. The quartet are very close friends and the Beckhams would only be happy about their story being used if Tom and Katie were involved.
Actors being tipped for the footballer's role include Paul Bettany and Jason Statham.
