Anna Faris is mostly known for her comedic roles, but it looks like she’s about to try dramatic acting. That’s a good thing, since even though she’s in a lot of comedies, she’s actually not very funny.
For her switch to drama Faris is going all the way right away. MTV says she’s planning to play a porn star. Not just any porn star, but infamous Deep Throat porn actress Linda Lovelace. Faris says they’re working on putting the project together and that, “it's a really deep, dark drama.”
The film’s called Inferno, and from what Faris says it sounds like it’ll follow Lovelace’s ultimately tragic story from her appearance in X-Rated movies in the 70s and subsequent rise to counter-culture pop-stardom and into her later years where she became an anti-porn crusader before dying in a car crash in 2002.
Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. Presumably this would require Faris to strip down, at least she ought to if she plans to play a porn star. Don’t count your nudity before it’s hatched though. She wouldn’t be the first Hollywood actress to make a movie about the sex industry while refusing to show any actual nudity or sex. Everybody wants to play a stripper, but nobody wants to take off their underwear. So get your mind out of the gutter… at least until there’s a gutter to get in.

Theres a whole lot of celebs not being able take in the situation and gauge how they should decide on tese things. I agree, that if an actor or actress is going to be playing a part like this, they really cant fairly scoff at nudity or sexually charged scenes, I mena is IS about porn, you cant take the porn out of, well Porn... like this Britney Spears things, OK, she got a lot of flack for being "fat" (granted she didnt have a dancers physique but I wouldnt have never called her fat), it would have been better guage the situation, she didnt look as good as she used, doesnt mean she shouldnt have performed, but maybe she shouldnt have worn just her underwear on stage... sorry. Same with Anna, if she wants to playa porn star, she cant really play the part as "wholesome", she needs to guage the situation and make the call, or let someone else play it whos willing to go for some realism...
