Cate Blanchett Joins Lucille Ball Biopic Written by Aaron Sorkin

That's quite a dream team. It has been reported that double Oscar winner Cate Blanchett has signed on to star as iconic comedian Lucille Ball in an upcoming biopic that will be written by Aaron Sorkin ("Steve Jobs", "The Social Network").

The film will chronicle Ball's 20-year marriage to Desi Arnaz, her co-star on the TV sitcom "I Love Lucy", which ended in divorce. The couple's two children, Lucy Arnaz Jr. and Desi Arnaz Jr. will serve as producers, which should indicate that everything will meet the family's approval.

Blanchett can be seen this year in the drama "Carol" which has sparked some serious awards buzz, and will co-star with Robert Redford in another biopic, "Truth". She is also working on an untitled Terence Malick project and has co-starred in the director's "Knight of Cups", which opens next year.
