AceShowbiz - Holly Madison won't stop at just writing a book about her past as a Playboy bunny. The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner reveals that she is in talks to adapt her tell-all memoir "Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny" into a TV movie.
"We're looking at some options right now," she tells E! News. "I think everybody's dream would be to do the big motion picture, but I think even a really well made TV movie would be great, too."
She's already thinking about the cast. "I would pick somebody young because they'd have to be playing me when I started at 21," she shares when asked whom she would like to play her, "I'd pick Emma Watson or Lily James. Lily James is my favorite."
She also teases about a potential Broadway musical adaptation, saying, "It could totally be 'Legally Blonde' meets 'Gypsy'. That would be so fun."
Meanwhile, Hefner whom Madison calls a "manipulator" in her book has responded to the memoir which is going to hit the shelves on Tuesday, June 23. "Over the course of my life I've had more than my fair share of romantic relationships with wonderful women," he says in a statement to PEOPLE.
Hitting back at the former Playboy bunny, the 89-year-old adds, "Many moved on to live happy, healthy and productive lives and I'm pleased to say remain dear friends today. Sadly, there are a few who have chosen to rewrite history in an attempt to stay in the spotlight." He concludes, "I guess, as the old saying goes: You can't win 'em all."
In her book, Madison claims she contemplated suicide while living with Hefner at the Playboy Mansion, describing the said period in her life as a "nightmare."
