Zeta-Jones for Susan Boyle film?

It has been reported that actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and director James Cameron are interested in making a film of the life of 'Britain's Got Talent' star Susan Boyle.

The Daily Mail reports that Zeta-Jones has inquired about the rights to a film about the singer, whose appearance on the ITV show is the most viewed Youtube clip ever with over 100m hits.

An ITV source said: "This is one of many requests we have had to play her [Ms Boyle], for movie deals and for stories of her life. All these people are coming out and want to be associated with her. She is the biggest thing in the world. It is mental."
