And Oscar-nominated Margot, 34, is the only name in the frame for the lead role.
Patrik said: “We are eyeing Margot and I think she is our Anna Nicole.”
“After we saw the Barbie movie, Margot was at the screening and I said, ‘That’s our Anna.’
“The way she embodied Barbie, and Pol used to always tease that Anna was the living Barbie. So who better to play her than Margot?”
Pol added: “I can tell you when we met her, we felt something electric and it was such a beautiful moment.”
The pair heard first-hand the stories of Anna’s turbulent life.
The pair, who also host podcast Undressed With Pol And Patrik, have already written a script and are directly negotiating with studios and agents.
Speaking at the Charmaine Blake Academy Award celebration gala in Beverly Hills, Patrik said: “Anna was our best friend. Best friends have secrets and we promised Anna we would reveal those secrets.”
