Lovelace (2013)

Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx should have opened up one of this summer’s biggest movies. Both actors are big names in the business, and they had The Amazing Spider-Man’s James Vanderbilt and big budget guru Roland Emmerich to put together the film, as well. While the movie didn’t manage to dominate the box office, it’s still a fun but frilly movie that's short on surprises but long on fun.

Lovelace tells the tale of the 1972 making of the famed porn film Deep Throat, which has lived on through history via the Watergate scandal. Although Deep Throat serves as a focal point in the film, it’s mostly about the life of Linda Lovelace, how she rose from humble beginnings, changed her name, and became a focal point for the feminist movement in the seventies.

Based on what they put in this brief, they've got a fair case to make. Arrow claims that they have allowed other productions to license Deep Throat in the past, but seem to take special exception with Lovelace, which shows how Linda was threatened by her husband Chuck Traynor (played by Peter Sarsgaard) during the film's production, and later came to regret making the film at all

The biopic that was intended to cover the highs and lows of Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace's life was in need of an older actress to play feminist icon Gloria Steinem, and Parker proved a saving grace to the feature's helmers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman by stepping in on such short notice. But as the film preps for its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, the directing duo confesses Parker's contribution to the picture has been cut completely.

Lovelace is directing duo Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's follow-up to their offbeat docudrama Howl, which centered on the obscenity trial Allen Ginsberg faced over his provocative poem. The film set in the 1970s will not only capture Lovelace's rise to fame, but also her subsequent shaming and claims that she'd been forced into porn

Since production began on the Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman directed Linda Lovelace biobic, we've gotten a few glimpses at the film, including a look at James Franco as Hugh Hefner an official still of stars Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard as Linda Boreman (a.k.a. Linda Lovelace) and Chuck Traynor respectively, and even a vintage poster of Seyfried as Deep Throat's Linda Lovelace.

One notable film star is set to replace another in the upcoming Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman directed Lovelace. Following word that Demi Moore was dropping out of the Linda Lovelace biopic due to personal issues, the big question was, who would replace her? We have our answer today and it’s a name that’s just as recognizable as Moore’s.

There's been little word on how the film will approach Lovelace's much-debated life story. However, this bit of casting news may provide some crucial insight. Will Sevigny's journalist prove to be the device/character that allows audiences to see Lovelace's perspective on her own rise to celebrity and infamy? Or perhaps Sevigny's role may serve as a mirror of the modern audience member trying to make sense of Lovelace's life from the various and conflicting accounts.

Adam Brody will soon be stepping up from character actor and kooky sidekick to leading man as The O.C co-star has just landed the lead in not one but two upcoming features. It's a hard-won evolution for Brody, who has previously performed supporting roles in everything from moody dramas (The Romantics) to stoner comedies (Smiley Face), and slasher-horror (Scream 4).

If you're still wondering why the life of a porn star has proven so fascinating to so much of Hollywood, it's due in no small part to the effect the release of Deep Throat had on American pop culture and the sexual revolution of the 1970s. Linda and her jaw-dropping sexual skills made her a poster child for a new and unashamed sexual freedom...

With its focus on the adult film industry, nudity in the upcoming film Lovelace seemed like a likelihood, however, the words “lots of” has been used to emphasize the amount of nakedness viewers might be able to expect from the upcoming adult film star biopic, which stars Amanda Seyfried.

Slowly but steadily, the cast of the upcoming pornstar biopic Lovelace has grown to include some very notable names, including Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Hank Azaria and Bobby Cannavale, not to mention stars Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard. While the film has yet to receive a release date, production has begun and we now have our first look at Seyfried as Linda Boreman, posed happily with her husband Chuck Traynor (Sarsgaard).

Gloria Steinem really hates porn (I've always wanted to open a news story with that sentence). She has spent a large portion of her career rallying people against the porn industry, saying things like, "Whatever the gender of the participants, all pornography is an imitation of the male-female, conqueror-victim paradigm," and ""Erotica is as different from pornography as love is from rape."

Can you picture James Franco playing the role of Hugh Hefner circa the early ’70’s? That may become a reality as the star is in talks to appear in the upcoming drama Lovelace. This news follows word that four more actors were recently cast in the movie, which is set to begin filming next week.

The cast of the upcoming film Lovelace already shows promise, with Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard set to star. And now, a week from when the movie is set to begin filming in Los Angeles, a few more have boarded the project, among which is Hank Azaria.

Considering how long this project spent in development hell, it's coming along quite nicely. Epstein and Friedman have gathered an exceptional cast and they are scheduled to start production at the end of the month in Los Angeles. Now we'll just have to wait and see if the competing biopic starring Olivia Wilde comes together quickly and makes 2013 the year of Linda Lovelace.

Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman recently made huge steps towards actually getting their Linda Lovelace biopic off the ground. Earlier this month it was reported that Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard were both in talks for the film, with the actress playing the former starlet and the actor signed up to play her abusive husband/pimp, Chuck Traynor. Now a third piece of the puzzle has been added.

Over the years there have been many projects about Linda Lovelace in development, but in the last year it has gotten fairly crazy, largely because just about every actress in Hollywood has been rumored to play the former porn star turned anti-porn activist. It began with Lindsay Lohan being attached to the movie titled Inferno, and got a bit nuttier when Lohan was replaced by Malin Akerman.

Olivia Wilde's contemplating playing porn icon Linda Lovelace in a planned biopic of the Deep Throat actress. E! Online says Wilde informed them that playing Lovelace on screen would be “a tremendous honor,” and she gushed about the actress’s unconventional career. But Wilde stopped well short of verbally committing to the role.

There’s never a dull moment in the career of James Franco. There’s a good chance he’ll get an Oscar nomination in just a few hours for his work in 127 Hours, and while that’s going on
