Not to be confused by the other porn star biopic, Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, starring Malin Akerman, Matt Dillon, Adam Goldberg Paz de la Huerta, Sasha Grey and Harold Perrineau, the other one is in production and we have the first still. Coming from EW we can see Amanda Seyfried above as Linda Lovelace, back when she was known as Linda Boreman.
We also see Peter Sarsgaard as her husband Chuck Traynor, before he become an abusive husband, reportedly forcing her into the business. In the 1970s-set story Lovelace would go on to become to be infamous in the X-rated Deep Throat for performing…well, you know what. I’m not sure what is spurring the sudden interest in these porn movies, and I’n not particularly anticipating either film. We ran through our Top 10 Movies About Porn in honor of last year’s underseen Middle Men, and it’ll be hard to top the big ones on that list.
As for the pic above, I suppose Seyfriend looks fine in the role, although I’ve never been fond of her. She stars alongside Demi Moore, Adam Brody, Eric Roberts, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Wes Bentley, Hank Azaria, Robert Patrick, Bobby Cannavale and Chris Noth. Expect a release later this year for the film from Howl directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
What do you think of the first look?
