You knew someone would have to do this movie.   The biopic on Hugh Hefner is to be produced for Universal Pictures by Brian Grazer, who won the best picture Oscar in 2002 for “A Beautiful Mind.”  Hefner, 81, sold the rights to his story to Grazer several years ago and approved the project last week.
The film will be directed by Brett Ratner, whose credits include the “Rush Hour” movies and “X-Men: The Last Stand.”

There is likely to be some high profile competition among the male actors who might be chosen to play Hugh.  Tom Cruise is supposedly interested to play Hugh and is rumored to be in negotiations for the role. A source close to Tom said that he wanted to take the challenging role to show his fans that he is a versatile actor.  Tom might face competition in the likes of Leonardo DiCarprio.
