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.

Very true post. Let’s hope she recovers as well as the others. Truthfully when I was typing my post, I did briefly think about Drew Barrymore.

Hope she's had her tetanus shot.

I thought Lindsey came out as being a lesbian. That would make it pretty difficult to think she could play LL.

My impression is that (to steal a line from Florence King) she does not have proclivities, she has a vilva.

[Slings and Arrows]

Vilva = vulva. I can spell; I just can’t type.

Who will portray the dog she did it with?

Seriously.

Linda Lovelace was such a “star” as only an X-rated “actress” of that era could be. Of course it was all about money. In her earlier ventures she did a bestiality reel (dog). None of today's “actresses” could ever be as famous as Linda Lovelace and Marilyn Chambers because the market is saturated.

Back in the Lovelace era, X-rated stuff was cranked out in relatively expensive 35mm features, 16mm movies, and in cheaper Super 8mm. But it all had to go to pro-labs for processing. Today cheapie vid cams and web cams bring dirt cheap final production and the Internet provides world wide cheap marketing.

But the life and death of Linda Lovelace could be an interesting PG film if done right.

Sad story.

Don’t know and not going to google for details at the office.

I’ll look up the name of the symbol and get back to you. I was reading the writings of a one time member of the Church of Satan and a friend of Anton LaVey until his death. The writer specifically mentioned Davis wearing it in concert and elsewhere.

It appears “Ol’ Firecrotch” was born for this role.

Yeah, hopefully they mixed in a little medication with all that other stuff she was shootin' up.

I figured she’s got so many different germs in her that they’d cancel each other out.

Who didn’t see this one coming!

I wonder if Pino Donaggio is writting the score.

It is amazing the quality you can get these days for a relatively small price.

Update! I’ll be starring alongside Lindsey as John Holmes.
