The White Stripes and The Raconteurs’ Jack White is reportedly in line to play Elvis in an upcoming comedy.

IGN.com have reported the unusual casting choice will be appearing in a parody of recent musical bio-pics, with a current title of ‘Walk Hard’

The film will spoof recent films such as ‘Walk The Line’ and ‘Ray’, with John C Reilly (‘Gangs of New York’, ‘Talladega Nights’) starring as a Johnny Cash-esque fictional character called Dewey Cox.

White has recently had small roles in 'Cold Mountain' and 'Coffee & Cigarettes', as well as being immortalised on ‘The Simpsons’.
