Debra Messing Lobbies for Lucille Ball Role After Nicole Kidman in Talks for It in Aaron Sorkin Film - TooFab

Kidman is in negotiations alongside Javier Bardem, who would play Desi Arnaz, in "Being the Ricardos," Sorkin's film that will follow one tumultuous week during the making of "I Love Lucy.".

Despite Debra Messing bring Lucille Ball to life already in a recent episode of "Will & Grace," the Emmy winner was sitting on the sidelines when news broke on Monday that Nicole Kidman was in talks to step into the comedy icon's heels.

Now called "Being the Ricardos," Deadline reports that Javier Bardem is in talks to take on the role of Ball's husband, Desi Arnaz.

Almost immediately, both Messing and her fans began scratching their heads and sending out the clarion call on Twitter that she would be the perfect choice to bring the comedy legend to life.

"The insanity of not casting @DebraMessing to play Lucille Ball is head-scratching for this project," read one of the dozens and dozens and dozens of tweets Messing shared Monday afternoon and evening.

Even some of her celebrity friends had her back, with Valerie Bertinelli tweeting, "Debra Messing was robbed." When someone suggested Kristen Johnston was the obvious choice, the "3rd Rock from the Sun" star hilariously replied, "I’d go with Messing."?

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic again impacting production schedules, there is no set start date for production on "Being the Ricardos." The film is currently set up at Amazon with Arnaz and Ball's children involved as executive producers
