Britney Spears is reportedly in talks to star in a "sadomasochistic sex movie".

The troubled 26-year-old singer - who is currently recording her new album - is said to be in final negotiations to star in

'The Knoxville Carjacking Party'.

The movie will focus on the true story of two students who were allegedly carjacked, kidnapped, raped and killed in the Tennessee city.

Ghetto Bragging Rights gossip columnist Clarence Star, who broke the story, believes it could be the right career move for Britney, explaining: "People need to see another side of Britney."

However, it is feared the mother-of-two will not be able to handle the "intensity" of the disturbing sex scenes.

A movie insider said: "'The Knoxville Carjacking Party' has a lot of sadomasochistic sex scenes in it. While it's thought Britney can handle any average sex scenes, these scenes have a lot of intensity in them. She would have to raise her performance level to endure some of these scenes."

In 2007, Channon Gail Christian, 21, and her 23-year-old friend Christopher Newsom are believed to have been murdered after being carjacked some time between January 6 and January 8.

Britney is no stranger to the big screen.

In 2002, she starred in teen movie 'Crossroads'.

She was also in line for the role of Daisy Duke in 'The Dukes of Hazzard' but the part was eventually taken by Britney's pop rival Jessica Simpson.
