March 22, 2013— -- intro: Her trial isn't even over, but casting for a Lifetime movie about accused murderer Jodi Arias has already begun.

The casting notice for "Dirty Little Secret: The Jodi Arias Story" hit the web last week, which got us thinking about who should play the role of Arias, 32, and Travis Alexander, the boyfriend she's accused of murdering by stabbing him 27 times, slitting his throat and shooting him in the head.

Producers City Entertainment and Peace Out Productions are searching for a Caucasian woman in her late 20s, who is "coquettish, head-turning, with a palpable sexy allure and well aware of the affect she has on men," according to a script obtained by FoxNews.com.

"Jodi is a single-minded, head-strong, quick-tempered young woman. She is hell-bent on emotionally suffocating and controlling Travis Alexander, a handsome young Mormon and motivational speaker who soon falls prey," the casting notice says.

She is "jealous in the extreme" and "driven to violence when she realizes that Travis will never fully commit to her," the notice reportedly said.
