Conan O'Brien's suggested HBO project may be one giant step closer to fruition.

On his final night hosting the Tonight Show, CoCo suggested that the pay cable channel turn the recent late-night melodrama into a movie. And when they do, he knows the perfect star to play him: Academy Award-winning actress Tilda Swinton.

Well, believe it or not, she's totally game!

"I would just be only too happy," she told Movieline. "Yes, yes, yes, absolutely."

She then took the flattery one step further…

"What I really would love to do is get him to do some of the things I get to do. It would be nice if he were here at Sundance maybe, wearing this coat, talking about I Am Love," she said. "And why not? Every girl should have a doppelganger."

Would you tune in for such a flick?
