    From The Hollywood Reporter:
    "At least she has the look down right.

    Malin Akerman Pessimistic that Linda Lovelace Film 'Inferno' Will Ever Be MadeChloe Sevigny Joins Amanda Seyfried in 'Lovelace'Marking a new chapter in her career, Amanda Seyfried, best known for her roles in Mama Mia! and Dear John, has taken on the teasing, inviting gaze of porn star-turned-activist Linda Lovelace. In this new poster, she captures the 70s-style allure that helped make Lovelace's skin flick Deepthroat a national phenomenon, but doesn't quite yet hint at the inner turmoil and tortured existence that made the late Lovelace's eventual story of women's rights campaigning such a compelling, and biopic-worthy, story.

    Perhaps most impressive is the fact that Seyfried features alone on the poster, next to a cadre of bigger name stars, including James Franco (who plays Hugh Hefner), Sarah Jessica Parker (taking on the role of Gloria Steinem) and Sharon Stone (as Dorothy Boreman).

    The film is one of two planned about Lovelace's life, though the other, the troubled Inferno, may not ever get off the ground.

    "I don't know what's been going on, I don't know why it hasn't gone yet," the film's would-be star, Malin Akerman, told The Hollywood Reporter recently. "I would hope and love for it to go, but now this other movie is coming on that Amanda Seyfried did, and I kind of feel like, 'Shit, we should have been on that, we should have done it."

    I dunno that she does have the look down right though. She looks good for sure and she does have a 70s thing going on, but is there much of a resemblance?

    Oh boy Dereks going to be jumping up and down tonight. He loves Amanda Seyfried. And I have to admit she can get down. (haha) But... wow.. Hollywood goes nuts sometimes with making people more attractive than they were. In this case I do not mind.

          She doesn't really look like Lovelace but that kind of thing doesn't bother me, Val Kilmer didn't look like John Holmes and he was great in Wonderland.

              Great film, took a chance on that one when it was released and never regretted my purchase. But I sure don't understand how they got the police tape and how in hell they were able to put that as an extra.

                That sure is a great film, Jimmy. I got the Danish dvd and it has a really good documentary feature film about John Holmes on it in the extras.

                It was retitled "The Wonderland Murders" here.

                  Too young. Too pretty. Lips are too big. Eyes are too far apart. Body is too nice. Hair looks like a cheap wig. No scar on her chin. Teeth are too straight. Cheeks aren't full enough.

                  Other than that she's perfect.

                  Who is playing Harry Reems?

                    The documentary is there too on the Canadian release, in fact it's a cut version of WADD: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes (I think the real one had some hardcore footages).

                        Those are ALL improvements on the original if you ask me!!

                        Not really sure WHY it was Linda who became famous...there were HUNDREDS of better porn stars around that time!

                        As for who should play Harry Reams...

                          Agreed she was not particularly attractive. 100's of others in the 70's though? No. 80's and beyond...hundreds, thousands. As for the 70's, maybe a few dozen, and maybe raincoater regulars knew who these people were back then but I bet most didn't.
                          As to why so famous / well known now?
                          That's easy. The film was incredibly popular. My freshman year at college was 1977 and DT was one of the weekend flicks shown. This is 5 years after it came out. It was everywhere, referenced in all media, for years ...almost like it was the only porno. For alot of people I bet it was the one and only they ever saw. Lovelace was a semi celeb, her and Marilyn Chmabers. No porn actor after these 2 got anywhere near the attention til Jenna Jameson ( although I am probably forgetting a few ). After home video in the 80's and adult video type mags hit the scene, everything changed. Lovelace came first and it stuck. They made a movie about her ( LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT ) and then later she returned to the spotlight & came out and spoke about the horrors endured during her career, and then a tragic death to top it all off.

                            Yeah , i understand why loads of people know this as it was the first one to cross over into the mainstream consciousness.......and thus became the nly one lots of people knew..

                            But also I have to ask, why deep throat?....Not particularly good example of the genre...not the best made.....but i guess sometimes things just happen like this right?

                              Remember though that at the time the DT was released there were very few hardcore features at all. I think it was DMJ that really raised the bar and ambition in xxx features.
