Johnny Depp is being touted to play former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko in a new movie.

Film company Warner Bros recently secured the rights to make a film about the life of the poisoned spy, based on a book about his murder. The spy died last year and was found with polonium-210 radiation in his body.

Infinitum Nihil, Depp's own production company, have been hired to make the film, sparking speculation that the actor may play the title role himself.
