Bethenny Frankel wants Mila Kunis to star in film version of her new novel

Author and reality show personality Bethenny Frankel wants Mila Kunis to star in the film adaptation of her first novel, Skinnydipping. The novel will hit the stores on May 1.

The reality TV personality is of the opinion that that her debut novel has everything needed to become a movie and insisted that Mila Kunis would be an ideal choice to portray the lead character.

"I've been approached for the book to be a film and a television series," Us magazine has quoted the author as saying.

"My gut says it really is a film; maybe later it could be a TV series. It has the arc, the story, the characters to be a film."

"When I thought about the lead character, I thought about people like Mila Kunis. Expect the unexpected. I think that Mila Kunis would be perfect," she stated.

Though Frankel is not new to writing but Skinnydipping is her first attempt into fiction-writing.

"It was a great experience,” Frankel said.

"I really liked fiction," she added.
