Selena Gomez is attached to star as Linda Ronstadt in a biopic about the singer-songwriter.

Gomez is set to play the 11-time Grammy winner in a feature that is in the works from producers James Keach (Walk the Line) and Ronstadt’s manager, John Boylan. A director and additional castmembers have yet to be announced for the project, nor does a distributor appear to be on board at the moment.

Ronstadt’s official Facebook and Instagram accounts posted a news story about the movie Wednesday and added the message, “It all started with a simple dream.” Ronstadt and Gomez, who are both of Mexican descent, previously met at the former’s home to discuss the project, according to a note on the website for Boylan’s company Great Eastern Music.

Ronstadt actually recorded songs in Spanish and has always embraced being of Mexican descent.

Hopefully she drops some weight and stops pulling her hair back tight.

Race has nothing to do with it.

Linda has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard.

Selena Gomez? Disney pop music movie, sucked a lot of dick, came out as gay or eating disorder or something, got a cooking pan line, and now doing this?

What a slap in the face to Linda

I guess if you want to be pedantic, you can argue that Selena is too tall to play Linda Rondstadt.

I think you are confusing Selena with Demi Lovato.

Selena has been pretty wholesome here entire career.

She can play fat, old Linda Ronstadt, then lose weight and play the young version.

This is the dumbest, most uninformed take that I’ve seen in here in years. You’re a fricking idiot.

It's not like Linda was some great beauty. Selena is more than pretty enough for the role.
