Jenna Jameson is hoping to cast Scarlett Johnansson in her upcoming biography. The good folks over at cinematical.com gave us this on the story:
Jameson, star of such films as Vajenna and Where the Boys Aren’t 17, is now telling the world that busty ingénue Scarlett Johansson would be a suitable choice for the porn star’s (supposedly) upcoming biopic. Jameson tells FHM: “We’re looking hopefully at Scarlett Johansson. She’s my choice. I think she’s beautiful.” Beyond that, rumors vary as to whether her wishes have been conveyed to the star of Match Point
Ok, I know this is a rumor, it most likely won’t happen but…maybe it will.
Think about it. The story of a porn star, where she came from, the choices that lead her into the industry. If she is successful (as Jameson is) then how she rose above the usual chauvinism of porn to make a long last name and product could be pretty interesting see. Seriously, this isn’t the worst idea out of Hollywood, I would see a movie that shows what makes girls get into porn, not a documentary (because that’s been done already) not a sensationalist flick (because porn shouldn’t be a dream for little girls) but the real life story of a successful porn star has potential.
Some may be surprised that I’m actually into seeing this but as a female I’m into seeing a success story about any woman breaking through in a male dominated field. Jameson has done that, she is the top choice for radio and television interviews when it comes to porn, she has published a book and owns her own entertainment management company. Would I ever want to do what she does? No, but do I respect her for making her mark on the profession that she chose? Yes.
Will Scarlett Johansson be involved? Probably not but there might be a tiny chance. Depending on the script thishas the potential to be a good movie. Porn stars often have very dark pasts which makes for a nicely layered character. Also Johansson did say she was disappointed that her nude scene was cut from The Island and this movie would give her ample opportunity to make men weep with joy.
Will this film get made and will Johansson be in it? Maybe, doubtful but if it was…. dare to dream men….dare to dream.

Some good points come up, especially Mr. Stay Puft’s.
As for what I want, I’m along the lines of Jay’s, except that this movie will be made, one way or another. If Scarlet gets signed to it, I don’t think she’d do the nudity, or atleast not much of it.
Now, to speak to Darren’s comment:
Yes, this movie is glamorizing the porn industry, but it’s not a male dominated field (and hasn’t been for quite some time). It’s a male populated field, but I (and most men) know more female leads in porn than mainstream film (as well as more women building their own businesses, ala Ms. Jameson), so to say it’s male dominated would be wrong.
As for it being too dehumanizing and not finding a large mainstream audience, I only say you’re wrong (I agree about dehumanizing) because all you have to do it put on MTV and see the increase in shows/videos promoting sex to teens, watch any movie that these teens want to get into (at a theater, and most are either gory, exploitative, or both), or any tv program talking about teenagers, and almost always depicting the high amount of sexual activity going on in that age group.
A biopic of a porn star? Yet Martin Luther King day just passed and Hollywood has never made a major motion picture about him. Sad.
I have to agree with Jay on all points. Well put Jay!
#1 – This movie will never be made.
#2 – If it does get made, Scarlett will not be in it.
#3 – If it does get made with Scarlett in the lead… I am SOOOOO there.
Scarlett is REALLY hot… hehehe
Scarlett Johansson as a porn star?
Oh mighty lord, my prayers have finally been heard, thank you.
If this film gets made I will worship you for eternity.
Hey, I’m not into Baseball but if there is a person at the top of their game who has an interesting story about their rise to that position I’d still be interested if it was gripping.
Jameson is a porn star – so what? As Sharon says she’s worked hard and now has her own company out of it. Sounds like an underdog story to me. Based on the Porn Industry’s income she probably earns more than Johnansson anyway.
Darren,
Not only that, but Jenna is trying to whore onto Scarlett legit success and leech off her legit mainstream status.
At least Tracy Lords did it on her own terms. Tracy is a good
singer too.
Big tits aside, Jenna is not that interesting to make a movie about.
Sharon…
Let’s be perfectly honest here. Regardless of who stars in it, in my opinion, it will be just glamorizing the porn industry. So a woman becomes successful “in a male dominated” field…but at the same time she disrespects herself. I see little distinction between a bunch of guys in the porn biz and women who creates her own company that caters to the porn biz.
It is still exploitation and dehumanization; this film, should it be made, won’t find a mainstream audience. Will Scarlett take the role? I’ll say ‘maybe’. She never struck me as that intellegent anyway.
if this movie gets made it would have to be the greatest movie in the history of time
Unleash the bazookas, Scarlett.
I think I love you.
*insert awkward silence here*
Anyways, the reason I swung by here was that I saw this picture on IMDB and thought it was cool considering it’s been 10 years. Thought I would share it with you, John, and the rest of the Movieblog community.

Well that’s just great. Now I can’t stand up at work.
