Lindsay Lohan is Linda Lovelace no more. According to Deadline, Lohan has been replaced by Malin Akerman (Watchmen) in the upcoming biopic Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story. Akerman will now portray the legendary porn star who appeared in the industry-changing adult film Deep Throat.
The film is based on Lovelace’s own novel Ordeal: An Autobiography. Some years now since Brian Grazer’s 2005 documentary on the subject; Inside Deep Throat – which received an NC-17 rating in the US and an R 18+ rating here in Aus – it’s just possible that the producers were hoping Akerman would be the safer choice when it came down to the film’s rating and distribution. Let’s be honest, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen Lohan doing anything PG!
No release dates yet, Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story is set to begin filming in early 2011.
Discuss: Do you think Malin Akerman has what it takes to play infamous porn star Lovelace?
