Anna Faris to Star in Linda Lovelace Deep Throat Biopic
And a million fanboys' hearts explode in unison.
After a string of comedic roles in films such as Just Friends and the Scary Movie series, Anna Faris is ready to get deep. Deep Throat, that is.
No, she isn't remaking the porn classic -- but according to MTV Movies, she is gearing up to portray its star, Linda Lovelace, in a Lovelace biopic called Inferno. Matthew Wilder has already been attached to direct. From the article:
Lovelace became a household name after "Deep Throat" became a pop-culture phenomenon that had stars like Johnny Carson and Jack Nicholson attending showings. Porn became chic, and the film has to date grossed more than $600 million worldwide (some believe it is still be the most profitable movie ever made).
In the years that followed, however, Lovelace reinvented herself as an anti-porn crusader, toiled in poverty and insisted that she had a gun held to her head off-camera during those infamous "Throat" scenes, blaming the experience largely on her manager/husband Chuck Traynor.
Faris describes Inferno as "a really deep, dark drama" and "a challenge, definitely," and hopes to have the project wrapped before next year's strike.

on Sep 20 2007 07:51 AM A biopic om Linda Lovelace, huh? Well now that's 'deep'. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2007 08:05 AM Anna has plenty of experience with sucking d**k from the Scary Movie series... (Reply to this) |

on Sep 20 2007 08:19 AM Do you think this might "SUCK"? (Reply to this) |

on Sep 20 2007 08:34 AM Sounds like it could be good, but I'm bummed it's going to be a "really deep, dark drama". An R-Rated Mockumentary about the Deep Throat phenomenon could have been great with Faris in the role. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2007 08:56 AM Sounds interesting and Faris is a fine performer in a comedic role or not. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 20 2007 08:58 AM She was hillarious in Just Friends. Id like to see more of her in movies... (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2007 09:23 AM the idea of making this movie really BLOWS my mind, I just find this idea very hard to swallow. (Reply to this) |
|
on Sep 20 2007 09:38 AM Sounds good to me. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2007 10:28 AM Ok.... I think we've had enough of the sucky puns..... So ummm, I bet this is a question on every guys mind. Nudity? (Reply to this) |
|
on Sep 20 2007 10:32 AM In reply to this comment (#1136232) I agree. This role will be harder and deeper than anything Faris has taken before. But she could really milk this opportunity to carry her career over the brink. ...waaaay too much fun. :) Anybody else? (Reply to this) |
|
on Sep 20 2007 10:40 AM she always said she wanted meatier roles, so I really hope she put the money where her mouth is. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2007 10:41 AM Given that this is the first 'deep' role she's taking....I hope she doesn't choke under pressure. I'm a bag fan of Faris, and I believe she can pull this role off very good. It'll be hard to see her in a more serious role though, but she's a good choice. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 20 2007 11:10 AM well done nogard46 (Reply to this) |

on Sep 20 2007 11:20 AM this movie's not even being reviewed yet and the puns are at critical mass. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 20 2007 11:58 AM wow, with all the sexual innuendo you guys are posting you'd think that one of you could at least be funny...guess not. anyways, i guess this movie could be interesting, but i really have no interest in Deep Throat or seeing a drama about the star's life. and from what i've heard Anna Faris is a pretty good actress, but i've never actually wasted the time to watch any of the Scary Movie flicks or anything else she's been in. maybe this will be the first movie of hers i'll see. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2007 01:46 PM I hope she'll show some skin, I've been waiting on that for a while (Reply to this) |
|
on Sep 20 2007 03:31 PM It can't be the most profitable movie ever because it's not a movie. Porn flick! (Reply to this) |
on Sep 20 2007 10:58 PM Man, I totally bet that this movie... will... uh... fellatio? (Reply to this) |
|
on Sep 21 2007 12:18 AM I remember reading somewhere that Linda also had sex with dogs. Wonder if Anna would be willing to protray that in a Bio Movie? (Reply to this) |

on Sep 21 2007 01:43 AM i hope anna faris doesnt have to put up with this many gags on set (Reply to this) |
