Demi not to play Steinem, was in the hospital
Like Alexander the Great, Steve Prefontaine, and Snow White before her, the late Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace suddenly has several producers prepping biopics simultaneously. The reluctant porn icon made her way into pop culture history with 1972′s Deep Throat, which was used as an informant code name during that year’s Watergate scandal and resurfaced with the Dennis Hopper-narrated documentary Inside Deep Throat, released in 2005 three years after Lovelace’s untimely death.
Today, EW confirmed that Juno Temple (left) and Wes Bentley have been added to the cast of Lovelace, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s biopic, which Epstein called “a story with great dramatic and psychological dimensions.” As pre-production for Lovelace and its competition, Matthew Wilder’s Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, really begins to take shape, it looks like it will be a race to the finish line as to which film — both of which are tentatively slated to hit theaters in 2012 — will be first to titillate and traumatize audiences. We size up the two entries below.
Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story
Director/Writer: Matthew Wilder (Your Name Here)
Linda: Malin Akerman
Chuck Traynor, Linda’s husband: Matt Dillon
Other stars: Sasha Grey, Paz de la Huerta, Harold Perrineau
Angle: Based on Ordeal, Lovelace’s autobiography (with Mike McGrady), look for Akerman — who replaced Lindsay Lohan as the lead — to play a more personal side of Lovelace, including scenes of rape and sexual violence, as she transitions from abused wife to reluctant porn star to a feminist activist.
Deep background: Grey may be the most interesting part of the movie as Grey herself made her name in porn films and has been vying to transition to mainstream acting since Steven Soderbergh’s 2009 film The Girlfriend Experience.
Lovelace
Directors: Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (Howl, The Celluloid Closet)
Writers: Andy Bellin (Trust) and Merritt Johnson (Temple Grandin)
Linda: Amanda Seyfried
Dorothy Boreman, Linda’s mother: Sharon Stone
Chuck Traynor: Peter Sarsgaard
Other stars: Temple (Lovelace’s best friend), Bentley (Lovelace’s second husband Larry Marchiano)
Angle: Touted as being “set between the birth of the sexual revolution and the culmination of the feminist movement,” Lovelace is likely to take a more historical stance on the tragic figure.
Deep background: Seyfried is reported to play a much feistier, sex-hating Lovelace. The film will explore her instant attraction (and eventual hatred) for Traynor, as well as her off-screen friendship with Throat costar Harry Reems (casting not yet announced).

play411's review of the "life of Linda":
On June 12, 1972, Deep Throat made its debut, becoming the first main stream pornographic movie. . Its star, Linda Lovelace became a sensation, counting Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson as her fans. By all accounts, at the time, she was on top of the world. A sexually liberated woman taking full advantage of the sexual revolution. [Linda herself said she did not]
But, just a few years later, she was telling a different story. One of abuse and imprisonment at the hands of her husband Chuck Traynor. She was embraced by the feminist movement and its anti-porn crusade., becoming one of their premier spokeswomen, even going on to speak numerous times in front of the U.S Senate.

In this Eric Danville interview, Linda reveals the truth.
Linda: "I had the misfortune of meeting Chuck Traynor. He started out as a nice person and then did a complete 180 and beat me up from that day forward, physically, mentally, psychologically... The psychological damage will never go away. Linda Lovelace became a fictitious character who did everything she needed to do to survive and be alive today."
and
I'm just sorry that people feel the need to go see pornography to enhance their sex life"
Bob: "But some people find porn entertaining and stimulating."
Linda: "I don't."
Then he Eric really hurts Linda's feelings:Eric: "There is a certain element of Chuck Traynorism in some of them [suitcase pimps] but not to the extent that happened back when Linda was working in the business."
Linda: "You can't say that. You're not behind that closed door."

Demi Moore to play Gloria Steinem and Amanda Seyfried to play Linda???
Variety reports that Demi Moore will be playing Steinem in Lovelace, a new film from Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, though the role is described as a "cameo." The movie already stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role and co-stars Peter Sarsgaard, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Wes Bentley, Hank Azaria, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick and Romeo Brown. There has also been talks in recent weeks for James Franco, who was originally attached to the project to play Sarsgaard's role, to make an appearance as Playboy creator Hugh Hefner. In real life, Steinem published an article about Lovelace in Ms. Magazine (a publication she created), which uncovered the truth about the starlet's experience in the porn industry. The movie is currently in production in Los Angeles.
