The actor is keen to find the best possible script for the film, in which he plays Spanish artist Salvador Dali.
A source is quoted as saying: "He's open to working with anyone - from housewives to pensioners - if the script is right."
Al Pacino and Peter O'Toole are also in talks to portray the surrealist painter in upcoming movies Dali and I and Goodbye Dali respectively.
Dali died of heart failure in 1989, aged 84.
