Scarlett Johansson is hoping adult movie superstar Jenna Jameson can win her an Oscar.

Scarlett has been singled out by the X-rated actress to play her in a movie adaptation of her autobiography 'How To Make Love Like A Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale'.

The 'Lost In Translation' star is said to be very keen on the role and is confident it could pave the way for Oscar glory.

A source said: "She knows Jenna has had a colorful life, but she isn't prudish about it at all. She loved her book and thinks it would be a great film. Scarlett believes it could earn her awards like Julianne Moore's Oscar nomination for her role in 'Boogie Nights'."

'Boogie Nights' is a film based on the life of porn legend John Holmes. Jenna, 32, revealed her admiration for Scarlett last month.

She said: "We're looking at Scarlett Johansson. She's my choice. I think she's beautiful."

Jenna, the star of such films as 'Jenna Loves Pain', 'I Love Lesbians 10' and 'Wicked Weapon', is currently in talks with producers and filming could begin next year.

Jenna's life has been marred by personal tragedies.

She lost her mother before her second birthday, and as a teenager was brutally gang raped.

Jenna went on to work as a stripper before becoming the world's most successful porn star.

Did any of you see the movie w/the blonde chick from Saved By The Bell, it was Striptease, or something like that,(that might have been Demi Moore's film)? Anyway, it pretty much ruined her. She is such a HOT actress and has only been in a few minor films since.
I do think that Scarlett Johansen's career as a serious actress could handle a film like that, but it certainly would not be one that boost her in the public eye.
