Katie to play Posh
If David and Victoria Beckham’s glamorous lifestyle hasn’t already sent our showbiz-o-meter spinning off the scale (and trust us, it has), the couple are now being lined up as the subject of a new Hollywood blockbuster.
The film, which charts Becks’ meteoric rise to fame, is the brainchild of David’s biggest fan, Tom Cruise. The Hollywood A-lister reportedly suggested the idea to Paramount studios before they controversially parted company last month, and the distributors are keen to get cameras rolling. Although Tom won’t be starring as David, his fiancée Katie Holmes has expressed an interest in playing Posh.
“Tom has a brilliant grasp of what the public want to see and thought David’s story was wonderful,” gushes an insider. “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.” Blimey – who could ask for a thicker plot?
The source adds: “Katie is perfect to play a young Posh and has been working on her accent.” Oh God, we can picture the scene now: David and Tom playing Scrabble in the dining room, while Victoria teaches Katie how to speak the, er, Queen’s English in the kitchen. Dear oh dear, talk about the blind leading the blind…
I gotta admit, Katie Holmes does have Victoria's coloring. If she lost a butt-load of weight and layered on the make-up, I think I could actually see her as Posh

yes, PLEASE, make it a 520 episode telenovela while you're at it, and after those 520 episodes when the story arrives in the present time you can make it the first real time telenovela, parallel to the daily events in the lives of the beckhams (this sentence makes no sense, i'm afraid.) so we can have TWO of them. that is - four! *fakesexcitement*

yah, i don't get it either.
and it is very unusual to make a biopic about somebody who is still alive or even on the height of his career (beckham hasn't retired yet, has he?) that would be such an unfinished story. give it at least ten more years, if you must do it.

"The Beckham Story" !?! Hm...I don`t know about that one...but it won`t be big on dialogues for sure...
Ugh, Katie to play Posh!? NEVER! Katie is too tall, and -sorry- too fat for that role! It wouldn`t even fit if Katie lost a ton of weight since Victoria is "naturally skinny" and Katie is rather "big-boned".
Aside from that, a total bore like Katie can`t play a catty bitch like Victoria.
I read this before and seriously think it is hysterical. It HAS to be a rumor. Katie is a good actress, but she could never pull it off believably. I am actually impressed that for once, this rumor isn't about Lindsay Lohan playing someone outrageous.
