FARIS DROPS OUT OF LOVELACE DRAMA
Actress ANNA FARIS has pulled out of producer BRIAN GRAZER’s LINDA LOVELACE biopic INFERNO - because the heavy role is too dramatic for her.
The House Bunny star was lined up to play the infamous porn star in a new movie to be be directed by first-timer Matthew Wilder - but now director and producer are on the hunt for a new leading lady.
Faris tells top film news website Moviehole.net, "I’m going to stick to comedies." Lovelace, real name Linda Boreman, shot to fame after starring in 1972 hardcore porn film Deep Throat, which became a cult underground hit. Ironically Boreman later became a spokeswoman for America’s anti-pornography movement.
The actress died from internal injuries following a car crash in Colorado in 2002.
Rocker/actress Courtney Love was reportedly attached to one Lovelace biopic, called Inside Deep Throat, in 2005, but that production stalled.
