Denise Richards' book 'The Real Girl Next Door' is being tipped to become a movie.

Producers are thought to be interested in adapting the 'World is Not Enough' actress' memoir - which includes details of her previous relationships with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, who she divorced in 2006, as well as Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora - to play out on the big screen because it has "all the ingredients" of a hit.

One producer told HuffingtonPost.com: "It has all the ingredients of a great movie. The pretty girl next door that become a Bond girl, marries a movie star and ends up choosing to raise her two daughters alone rather than pursue her career."

Denise - who adopted baby girl Eloise Joni in July and has two children, Sam, seven, and six-year-old Lola, with the former 'Two and a Half Men' actor - is thought to be "amazed" at the success of her book, which recently spent two weeks on the New York Times best seller list, but she is keen to return to acting.

A friend explained: "All she ever wanted to do was tell her side of the story. She has done that and is amazed at the success of the book. She never in her wildest dreams thought she would be a New York Times bestselling author.

"And even though Charlie has said he loves the book, Denise is finally ready to start getting back into movies as an actor not as the subject matter of one."
