Academy award winning actress Renee Zellweger is denying reports that she has agreed to play the late great Janis Joplin, as she is not yet convinced she is the right actress for the role.
Renee says she is still considering the offer to take the lead in the biopic "piece of my heart" because she wants to see the casting done right. "it's all speculative right now. the movie is in pre-production. it's going to take a long time," renee said. "if at the end of that time it still feels right time in my life, then we'll see."
"Joplin was an extraordinary person," she said of the blues singer who died in 1970 from a heroin overdose. "there is a need to be careful with the movie, to make sure it does not become a cliche, because that would be blasphemy. we have to make sure that the people who knew her are not disappointed."
