Adele may play Dusty Springfield in biopic

British singer Adele is reportedly in talks to play the lead role in a biopic in country singer Dusty Springfield.

The film, to be penned by David Stenn, will focus on Springfield's time living in Memphis, Tennessee in the late 1960s during the making of her 1969 album "Dusty in Memphis".

"There is a project - and it's true Adele is attached - but it's in an early stage of development," dailymail.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Adele's London-based spokesman offered "no comment on this" when approached by Daily Mail.
