Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman are rumored to be up for the starring roles in a new film about rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis.Robin Hood director Terrence Malick is currently at work on a film about The Killer, sources close to negotiations told MTV News last week. We hear Brad s being courted to star as the infamous “Great Balls of Fire” singer while Portman will act as Myra Gale Brown, the 13-year-old cousin Lewis married in 1957. The marriage survived for 14 years, but Lewis’ star faded as he was denounced by religious leaders across the nation. The combination of cradle-robbing, incest, and bigamy (Jerry was still married to his second wife when he wed Myra..) made an explosive scandal the sidelined the musician’s career for nearly a decade.
Malick hopes to capture it all the silver screen, sources say.
This won’t be the first time the life of Jerry Lee made it to the big screen. The 1989 film Great Balls of Fire featured Dennis Quaid starring as the rock pioneer and Winona Ryder as teen bride Myra.
