LOS ANGELES – Lindsay Lohan has landed the lead role in an independent movie about 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace, one of the film's producers said.

The 24-year-old actress will play Lovelace, who shot to fame with the landmark 1972 porno movie "Deep Throat," while Bill Pullman will portray Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner in the period drama, producer Wali Razaqi told The Los Angeles Times.

The film, called "Inferno," will be based on the events of Lovelace's life and will delve into the "difficult stuff she went through and overcame," Razaqi said.

Razaqi said he and director Matthew Wilder are confidant the "Mean Girls" star will deliver.

True. She was a cute little girl who couldn’t handle stardom like so many others. She’s such a mess that now all she has left to sell is being naked for all those who remebered her as cute. This is yet another example of someone who would have been better off living an ordinary life working an ordinary job.

You are very much correct, and Sammy himself admitted it was due to his personal hedonism, rather than any love for Beezlebub:

I haven’t followed his career too closely but it
is mildly surprising to learn that Bill Pullman
is associated with a project like this.

Role isn’t a stretch for her....

But he did wear his Church of Satan pin publicly.

Role isn’t a stretch for her....

Maybe for her gag reflect it will be.

Her Dad is trying to get her committed.

Shouldn't he lead the way?

Subtitled “The Blue Dress: Lip-Service to Love”.

[a fool in paradise]

Does this qualify as a bomb threat from Hollywood?

[Mr. K]

Maybe the cast will get treated to an appearance by “Herpes, the love bug”

[Army Air Corps]

Something tells me this movive will suck.

2. Will they depict the scene where Linda's husband Chuck Trainor (not Hef as is sometimes reported) gets fellatio from Sammy Davis Junior?

Seriously?

[Clemenza]

Per Linda’s memoirs.

Linda Lovelace saying ahhhhh

“how thorough will the filmed depiction be?”

Reading between the lines:
“will delve into the “difficult stuff she went through and overcame,”
it will be VERY thorough, presumably detailing all the “stuff” (hard and soft) she had to go through to get to where she is today.

I was attempting to be coy. I suppose I should’ve asked how true-to-life the performance would be ... or, in other words, will the movie merit an ‘R’-rating, or something more strict?

Did the casting involve a couch in any way?

Remember how far Britney Spears plummeted and it looked like she would never stop, but she seems to doing much better these days. Not to mention the wreck that was Robert Downey, Jr., and he looks to have had a career boomerang. Which I am glad for, because he is an actor I really like.
We can only hope Lohan reaches a point that she can get some serious help.

Thought she was retired..../s

Wow. Learn something new every day.

Thank you.....I think. :-)
