The actress has been cast to play the lead role in the
porn-star biopic “Lovelace,'' TheWrap has confirmed. The deal, however, is not
yet closed.
Peter Sarsgaard is in talks to play Linda Lovelace's
coercive husband, the pornographer Chuck Traynor.
Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (''The Celluloid
Closet'') are directing a script by W. Merritt Johnson and Andy Bellin. The
script is based on “The Complete Linda Lovelace,'' a book by Eric Danville.
Avi Lerner, Heidi Jo Markel and Laura Rister are
producing the movie, which is scheduled to begin production in January.
Kate Hudson was offered the “Lovelace'' role before she
became pregnant. James Franco, who starred in Epstein and Friedman's “Howl,''
also had been attached.
Lovelace is best known for the 1972 porn film “Deep
Throat.''
The Seyfried movie is one of two Lovelace projects now
under way.
The writer-director Matthew Wilder is developing
“Ordeal,'' based on Lovelace's autobiography. Malin Akerman is set to star in
that movie. - Reuters
