The infamous tale of Dominique Strauss-Kahn has already inspired both a French porn flick and a harrowing episode of "Law & Order: SVU." Now it looks like the ex-IMF chief is receiving the Hollywood treatment.

Director Abel Ferrera (Bad Lieutenant and King of New York), Gerard Depardieu, and Isabelle Adjan are reportedly all on board for the behind-the-scenes look into the rape accusation that rocked the international community and ultimately destroyed Strauss-Kahn's presidential ambitions.

Great choices, but we can't help but wonder who we'd like to see acting out the drama on the big screen. From Brian Cox to Bobby Flay, there are a bunch of potential candidates we fear the filmmakers might end up overlooking.

Check out our choices and vote for who you think should play the lead roles:
