Hollywood siren Megan Fox, who was recently voted Sexiest Woman In The World by FHM magazine, is set to play Mother Teresa.
But devout Catholics need not fear, it is not a serious biopic.
Saintly? Megan Fox plays Mother Teresa in a movie within a movie
She stars in How To Lose Friends and Alienate People as upcoming actress Sophia Maes, who lands the lead role in a movie-within-a-movie on the life of the famous nun.
Fox appears alongside Simon Pegg and Kirsten Dunst in the film, which is based on Toby Young's memoir of the same name.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old has been ordered to put on weight for her role in the second Transformers movie.
The Angelina Jolie look alike said: 'I had to put on weight. I’d lost a lot of weight and got really scrawny, but I was told I had to put on size for Transformers because Michael [Bay, the director] doesn’t like skinny girls.'
'I have a serious sugar tooth, so now I eat red-velvet cake before I go to bed every night, and if you eat meals later, you’ll put on weight faster, so I had dinner at 10 p.m.

Megan Fox squeezes herself into a pair of denim hotpants in thrilling new Transformers 2 trailer
As if watching giant robots fighting for control of the planet wasn't enough, producers have given film fans another reason to watch the new Transformers sequel - the sight of Megan Fox in hotpants.
The stunning actress squeezes her curves into a tiny pair of denim shorts as she reprises her role as sexy biker Mikaela Banes in the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
In the opening scenes of the latest trailer of the action movie, a hotpants-clad Mikaela is seen talking to her boyfriend Sam Witwicky on the phone about the new long-distance status of their relationship.

Sizzling: Megan Fox's character Mikaela Banes is working at her dad's bike shop and in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) at the beginning of the film
Hero Sam, played by Shia LaBeouf, has moved away to New Jersey to study astronomy at historic Princeton College and is trying to live a normal life following his battle with the evil Decepticons in the previous film.
With only eight weeks to go before the film hits cinemas, producers have released a new trailer giving further clues to the movie's plotline and finally confirms Decepticon leader Megatron comes back from the dead after being killed by Sam in the first film two years ago.
In the new trailer, Sam disappoints his robot friend Bumblebee, who transforms into his car Chevrolet Camaro, that he can't bring him to college because freshman (first years) aren't allowed vehicles on campus.
Growing up: Sam (Shia) informs his car-robot friend Bumblebee he's moving to college without him
Once at university, Sam discovers its not so easy to leave his double life as an assistant to the heroic Autobots behind when he finds a sliver of Energon Cube (the Transformers' energy source) in his room on campus.
The presence of the cube appears to be unlocking secrets in Sam's brain - who is tormented by bizarre symbols when he's trying to study - and they're secrets the villainous Decepticons want to find out
An angry Megatron, who has been resurrected by his fellow Decepticons, wants to get revenge on Sam and is desoerate to get the secrets from Sam's brain.
Sam soon finds he has been followed to university by Autobots leader Optimus Prime, who informs him he's needed to help them stop the Decepticons' mission to rid the world of humans so they can live off Earth's resources.
After the Decepticons ravage the historic hallowed halls of Sam's university Princeton, he reunites with girlfriend Mikaela and the Autobots as their fight against the Decepticons takes them to Egypt.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen not only brings back familiar robts like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron, but also a host of new 'bots.
Among the new robots are mechanical jaguar Ravage, who spies on the Autobots and humans for the Decepticons, and The Doctor, a spider-like droid who tries to extract information from Sam.
Transformers screenwriter Alex Kurtzman told the USA Today newspaper: 'In the spirit of "more than meets the eye," Ravage isn’t just lethal because of his sharp teeth.
'There’s actually another skill set Ravage has that didn’t exist before, so there’s going to be a surprise for fans.'
A group of Decepticons also join forces to form The Devastator, who wages mass destruction on a huge scale.
Another screenwriter Roberto Orci said: 'He’s made of vehicles designed to build, and he turns into is someone who loves to destroy. He is an agent of absolute chaos.'
In the film, the Decepticons, desperate for the information, wage war to capture Sam and the climactic battle scene takes place at the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt, where film crew were granted access to the 5,000-year-old site for the first time ever.
Egyptian hieroglyphics resembling helicopters in real life were also used, where they will be explained in the film as being depictions of those ancient Cybertronians who visited Earth.
The film’s Army liaison, Lt. Col. Gregory Bishop, said: 'As far as I know, this is the biggest joint military operation movie ever made, in terms of Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines. I can’t think of one that’s bigger.'
Shia injured his hand when he was involved in a car crash in July 2008, which disrupted filming of the $200million science fiction blockbuster.
Shia's bandaged hand was subsequently written into the plotline after Sam is left injured after a clash with a Decepticon.

Newly single Megan Fox bounces back after calling off her engagement
If Megan Fox is nursing a broken heart, she certainly didn't let it show as she stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday.
The Transformers star, whose engagement to Brian Austin Green was called off earlier this week, was spotted dining out at the Smoke House restaurant in Studio City.
Looking casual in a vest top and flared jeans, she was obviously keen to carry on with business as usual despite the separation.
Business as usual: Actress Megan Fox goes to lunch at the Smoke House in Los Angeles yesterday
The previous day she was also seen keeping up her routine with a trip to the Coffee Bean cafe in Hollywood.
Megan and Brian mutually decided to go their separate ways after a two-year engagement, with a source saying the pair are 'still friends'.
They obviously remain on good terms - Megan was leaving Brian's home earlier that morning and then paid an afternoon visit to his six-year-old son Kassius.
The 22-year-old started dating the Beverly Hills 90210 star, 35, in 2004 and soon moved in together.
Single and ready to mingle: A smiling Megan stepped out in LA on Thursday
Pictured in Los Angeles over Valentine's weekend, Megan and Brian looked miserable as they headed out for lunch.
A friend of the couple told Us Weekly magazine: 'The relationship had run its course.
'It's completely amicable, and they are remaining friends... they are both focusing on their careers.'
Despite not having to deal with the messy aftermath of divorce, the couple may have to undergo painful procedures to remove tattoos of each other's names.
Caffeine fix: The Transformers actress visited her local Coffee Bean cafe
Megan has Brian's name tattooed in script between her right hip and pubic bone.
At the American GQ Man of the Year awards in November, the couple silenced rumours they had split in the summer as they spoke of their wedding plans.
Brian said: 'The ceremony will be small, Originally we were talking elopement and now we might have a few people there.'
Megan added: 'It's not going to be a big wedding. I'm not one of those girls. If it happens, it will be very low-key and quick and unplanned.
'I feel like I need to set my career and do a movie other than Transformers. Then I'll explore family.'
Trouble in paradise: Megan and Brian appeared distant as they visited a LA cafe with his son Kassius on 15 February
Last year, Megan was named FHM magazine's Sexiest Woman In The World.
The actor was clearly aware of Megan's popularity with male fans and admitted he felt unattractive next to her.
He said: 'She always looks hot. I stand next to her and it's like beauty and the beast.'
Brian has previously been engaged to his 90210 co-star Vanessa Marcil, mother of his son Kassius and also dated another 90210 co-star Tiffani-Amber Thiessen in the Nineties.
Megan will next be seen on screen in the Transformers sequel Revenge Of The Fallen this summer, while Brian is currently filming TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Transformers star Shia LaBeouf gets flirty with 'Sexiest Woman' co-star Megan Fox
Rising star Shia LaBeouf was spotted indulging in a little flirtation with his co-star Megan Fox while on set of the Transformers sequel.
Fox, who was crowed this year's 'Sexiest Woman' by FHM magazine, giggled along as the actor did his best to entertain her between takes.
All smiles: Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox enjoy a laugh between takes of the Tranformers sequel in LA yesterday
But it's likely just harmless fun rather than a budding onset romance, considering Fox has a long term boyfriend, former 90120 star Brian Austin Green.
The 22-year-old LaBeouf is still nursing an injured hand after it was crushed when his truck flipped in car crash in Hollywood earlier this month.
Sock it to me: Shia, who injured his hand in a car crash earlier this month, does his best to keep Megan entertained with a sock puppet
He had his injury written into the script of the sequel to accommodate a full shooting schedule which left no for delay.
LaBeouf was arrested on a suspicion of drink-driving and spent several days in a hospital.
However, a police spokesman announced two days after the crash that LaBeouf 'was not at fault'.
'We have strong evidence that the other driver ran a red light,' Steve Whitmore said.
