While I am sure there are those who would love to see the train wreck that is Lindsay Lohan turn to porn, this isn’t exactly the way they meant it. The trouble starlet has been attached to the Linda Lovelace story Inferno for a couple years now but with frequent interuptions of rehab and arrest to her professional career, it would seem this will never happen.
But director Matthew Wilder is willing to wait, convinced she is worth it.
Matthew Wilder, remains committed to the troubled actress, despite years of struggling to get the project off the ground. (Anna Faris had been attached to play Lovelace as far back as 2007, but she dropped out in 2008 to focus on comedy.)
Whenever filming does kick into gear, the movie will tell the story of the hugely influential pornographic actress whose seminal film ‘Deep Throat’ put her on the map nearly 40 years ago and who proved her vulnerability in a horrific autobiography that revealed the true nature of her relationship with one-time husband Chuck Traynor. Forced to perform sexual acts at gunpoint, Lovelace was drugged, beaten and raped — but she was a survivor.
I really hope that this is worth the wait and it could provide some evidence that Lindsay Lohan is more than a surgically altered pair of breasts and pouty lips. I am not holding my breath, but still open to be surprised.
But I wonder just how long he will wait. What if Lohan doesn’t ground herself and just spirals into a sad True Hollywood Story that doesn’t get a happy ending?
Wilder seems dedicated to having Lohan in the part, but where is the breaking point?
