The News Corp. phone-hacking scandal, which shows no signs of ending anytime soon, will probably make for a sensational film.

Hollywood is obviously watching this fascinating unfolding story with great interest.

It has almost everything a great movie needs: corruption, tragedy, sex appeal, secrets, lies and now even death.

What actors could play some of the leading roles?

Leonardo DiCaprio as James Murdoch
An excellent and underrated actor, Di Caprio would have to darken his hair to play James Murdoch. However, for once, he wouldn't have to adopt a foreign accent since James speaks like an American. Reuters
Amy Adams as Rebekah Brooks
To play flame-haired Rebekah Brooks, the beautiful redhead would have to speak in a British accent -- many US starlets have pretended to be British with mixed results. Reuters
Hugh Grant as David Cameron
Hugh Grant is the (sort of?) proud father of a bouncing baby girl. Reuters

Lisa Ling as Wendi Deng
Lisa Ling is not an actress, but she'd be adequate as Murdoch's wife. Or perhaps Lucy Liu has more appeal. Reuters
