Amanda Seyfried to play former porn star Linda Lovelace in new biopic
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant
You may remember a while ago that Lindsay Lohan was all set to make her grand comeback in the film INFERNO where she would have played former DEEP THROAT porn star Linda Lovelace. But of course, Lindsay couldn’t keep herself together long enough and the filmmakers got sick of her and recast the role with Malin Akerman. Well, this isn’t that film, but rather a competing Lovelace biopic called LOVELACE that is set to star Ms. Big Eyes herself, Amanda Seyfried. This one is based off the out of print book ‘The Complete Linda Lovelace’ by Eric Danville and will also star Peter Sarsgaard as her husband, who depending on who you believe, was a huge influence on her life. Matt Dillon plays her husband in INFERNO. LOVELACE will be directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
I’m not sure it’s necessary to have two movies about a former porn star (honestly, her life doesn’t sound that different than most porn stars), but many filmmakers are baffled by the success of DEEP THROAT, so maybe there’s more story here than we know. Both films are set to begin filming in January.
