Angelina Jolie and George Clooney to Play Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra? [UPDATE]

It looks like Naomi Watts and Michelle Williams have some company. According to author Andrew O'Hagan, Angelina Jolie will play Marilyn Monroe in the adaptation of his recent novel, The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe, meaning there are now three Monroe films in the pipeline. O'Hagan's book is told from the perspective of Monroe's Maltese terrier, a gift she received from Frank Sinatra (who will supposedly be played by George Clooney, natch). UPDATE: Reps for both actors have officially denied O'Hagan's claims. [The Guardian]
