Goody film to be directed by Nick Love?

A movie about the life of late reality star Jade Goody may be directed by Nick Love, according to The Times.

The filmmaker, whose work includes The Football Factory, The Business and Outlaw, is allegedly the favoured choice of Goody's estate to make a biopic about the ex-Big Brother contestant.

"Her story lends itself to a biographical film," said Goody's friend and trustee Danny Hayward. "She's captured the mood of the nation. We're talking about it, and we welcome approaches. We want it to tap into raising awareness of cervical cancer."

Love's company Vertigo Films (Bronson) said that the director is "very flattered" about the proposal, but may have to decline an offer as he is currently working on completing his new movie The Firm.

Goody passed away on Sunday morning after losing her battle with cervical cancer.
