The 'Only Murders in the Building' actress is reportedly approached by the producer of award-winning documentary about the retired artist to star in an upcoming movie.

AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez may relive the old Hollywood glamor in her future project. If the new report is to be trusted, the 30-year-old singer/actress is reportedly circling a role in an upcoming biopic about '70s and '80s pop icon Linda Ronstadt.

According to Showbizz411 which first reported the news, James Keach, who produced the award winning documentary, "The Sound of My Voice", about Ronstadt, already has a script of the forthcoming film. He is reportedly talking to the former Disney darling to play the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee in the said movie.

The "juicy" story is said to track the retired artist's journey from the time she was signing with the Eagles and Jackson Browne to her superstardom. Gomez may be the perfect choice for the role since she does not only has the acting chops, but also she can sing.

Other details about the project are still scarce, but many have supported Gomez's possible casting for the movie. "She will eat this up," a fan claimed. A second person gushed, "she's coming for an oscar."

A third commenter opined, "Big shoes to fill but let's go Selena." Another voiced support for Gomez to land the role as saying, "That would be really good casting omg."

Gomez is currently starring on "Only Murders in the Building", which has been renewed for a third season by Hulu. She has completed filming her scenes for the new season, which will premiere on August 8.

Meanwhile, Ronstadt has been retired since 2011 after feeling her singing voice was deteriorating. Later in the same year, she revealed that she is no longer able to sing as a result of a degenerative condition later determined to be progressive supranuclear palsy.

In September 2013, the 76-year-old singer/actress published an autobiography titled "Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir". Her documentary based on her memoirs, "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice", was released in 2019.
