Amanda Seyfried: Linda Lovelace In Porn Star Biopic? Star In Talks

Will Amanda Seyfried be the one?

The "In Time" star is the latest name to be linked to playing the role of legendary porn star-turned-activist Linda Lovelace, Variety reports. She's in talks to play the role in the aptly titled "Lovelace," a drama based on a biography by Eric Danville. Peter Sarsgaard is in talks to play the role of Chuck Traynor, the man who turned the then-Linda Boreman into a porn star, married her and allegedly abused her before she filed for divorce.

Seyfried and Sarsgaard aren't the first stars to be attached to this specific film, as back in January, it was reported that Kate Hudson and James Franco would play Lovelace and Traynor, respectively; the film's directors, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, headed up the Allen Ginsberg biopic in which Franco starred last year. Olivia Wilde was rumored to be in talks for the role last week, but she denied her involvement.

Lindsay Lohan was set to play Lovelace in a biopic titled "Inferno" last year, but legal troubles have put the kibosh on that.

let Scotland do what it wants,as soon they will be a separate country anyway.........and give us lighter evenings all year.....i loath the dark nights with a passion.

I had no idea it was soo easy to make $88/hour easy on the computer!! I heard from this retired army friend of mine who had been without a job for 8 months since Iraq but last month his check was $7365 just working on the computer for a few hours. Then I gave it a shot and am smiling all the way to the bank! Read about it here: lazycash5,c0m (replace "0" and "," with "o" and ".")

Saarsgard plays sleazy very well. But I don't want any good actresses to get this role, because it's going to instantly typecast them. They should have let Lohan do it, or get Kristen Stewart. Hey, she likes "edgy" roles.

This movie is going to suck. And no, you can't use that as a tagline.

OK...Not that there is anything wrong with it!?!!
She is Intelligent, young, beautiful, and sexy!...Enjoy youth while you can. It is always wasted on the young who usually don't appreciate it until it's gone by!
Rock on, Amanda S.
( You may just win that Oscar yet?! )

She's beautiful. She will be mine one day, after I stop a mad captain of industry from destroying the planet. Women love a guy who saved the planet, right?

I was hoping for Nina Hartley.

Ooopss. I misunderstood the headline. I thought Sigfried was going to work onstage with pron stars instead of tigers. I guess this would be ok too....
