Although Brimley is "still in the picture", most of Hollywood says that comedian and actor Robin Williams will be playing Susan in a movie planned to start filming at any time.
If Williams takes the role and he's admitted he wants it, Brimley is scheduled to play the boyfriend back home in Scotland.
Williams revealed he's in talks to star as Susan Boyle, the Britain's Got Talent contestant, according to Now magazine. He told the National Inquisitor:
"I've been asked if I want to play Susan Boyle in the movie about her life. I think she's incredible.
I had no problems with Mrs. Doubtfire and I think I can do this one. I hope they can get Susan herself to do the songs.
That clip of her singing on Britain's Got Talent was extraordinary. It was quite a shock when she began to sing. She's got a really great voice."
Williams says Dom Deluise would have been a natural but, unfortunately, he passed away.
Also there went the hopes of Burt Reynolds making a comeback as Susan's boyfriend.
