NEED TO KNOW

Warner Bros. is developing a Hugh Hefner biopic
Hefner tweeted about meeting with a potential writer for the film

Can you believe there has never been a major film about the life of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner? Well, that is about to change.

On Tuesday, Hefner tweeted, “I had a good meeting today with screenwriter Peter Morgan discussing a film about my life.”

Morgan is the Oscar nominated screenwriter behind “The Queen” and “Frost/Nixon.” If Morgan decides to do the project, he would join producer Jerry Weintraub who is developing the film for Warner Bros.

There has been no word on who would play the mogul in his younger years, so Showbiz Tonight thought we would have some fun and throw out a few names. We’re thinking Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlie Sheen or David Duchovny.

Let us know who you think should play Hef! Then make sure to tune in to Showbiz Tonight at 11 pm ET/PT to see who we pick!
