She is not even two yet but Suri Cruise is being considered for her first movie role, according to showbiz reports. The toddler - daughter to actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes - may be offered a speaking role in an animation film, says website People.com.
Producer Ash R Shah is thinking about making a movie about Knut, the infamous polar bear at the Berlin Zoo and thinks that mini Cruise could get a starring role.
He says: "I see the heart-warming relationship between Knut and his caretaker, Thomas Doerflein at the centre of the movieSuri could speak the English voice of Knut."
Shah expressed an interest in the popular bear who has been photographed by Annie Leibovitz for the cover of Vanity Fair and has also had a children's book written in his honour.
It's called, Knut: How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World. Now the producer wants to turn the bear's life into an animated movie.
Shah says: "With his friendly character, he serves as an ambassador for the Earth's problems - climate change and the melting polar ice caps.
"A movie about Knut would affect people all over the world."
According to the German newspaper B.Z, Shah has taken the project so seriously that he has offered the Berlin Zoo $5 million for the rights to Knut's story.
Heiner Kl?s, curator at the zoo told People.com that the request was received. Kl?s said: "I can confirm that we received the offer and that we are giving it due consideration.
"When we have come to a decision, then we will handle the matter discreetly."
Shah and his firm The Animation Picture Company were behind the movie version of Garfield.
