Linda Lovelace: Amanda Seyfried To Bare All As Porn Star

Amanda Seyfried

Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried is set to give fans an eyeful in her Linda Lovelace biopic - the film's producer insists the actress will be stripping off for full-frontal nude scenes.

The pretty blonde signed on as the porn star who became an anti-porn activist last year, and movie executive Patrick Muldoon reveals Seyfried is taking some big risks with the saucy role.

He tells Eonline.com: "It's very risque and there will be lots of nakedness in the movie, especially for Seyfried. It's a new thing for her."

But the producer insists his star won't be remembered for baring all in the film - fans will love her profound performance.

He adds: "She's doing such an amazing job. We're about two weeks into filming, and the movie's going to be incredible.

"Thematically, it's (the movie) talking about how abusive the porn industry was to Linda Lovelace. Yes, there's a lot of nudity, but it's a message movie about respecting women."

The actress will appear alongside Peter Sarsgaard in the film, while Demi Moore recently signed on to portray feminist Gloria Steinem.

Seyfried has ventured into risque roles before - in 2009's Chloe she also had to bare all and kiss actress Julianne Moore.

But she has often chosen safer roles in movies including Mean Girls, Letters to Juliet, Red Riding Hood and Mamma Mia!

Lol, the young starlet taking on a sexy, adult role to prove that she's made it into woman-hood. Same old story, new actress. I hope it enhances her career. Wish her the best.

Wasn't she also in that movie with James Franco? It was about Time being the basis of the economy. She was the daughter of the rich, he the son of the poor. Together they play Bonnie and Clyde, and set the masses free from their subjugation.

Linda Lovelace has been 6 feet under for at least a decade.

Sex sells - end of story. Yes you will have to be gay (and male) or one of those seriously sad women who think all men should be castrated simply because we occasionally give into a few thousand years of evolution that means we get excited about the prospect of a sexual encounter, even if there's no chance of it actually turning into one, to get the supposed message. In fact I think this is a top line cynical attempt to gain some 'respectability' for a porn film. Bet the demand for copies of Deep Throat' (Uncut and 18R) will rocket (Why watch someone acting as a porn star when you can see the real thing?). If anyone thinks this will change anything (Apart from increasing interest in porn) then they should perhaps grow up a little.

Interesting. Exploiting a young woman to give a message on exploiting young women. Yeah, everyone will be talking about her performance not her nakedness, yeah right. Maybe true for gays and girls. She's being exploited and women in general are being exploited by movies like this. We have no shame anymore.

It's not exploitation by definition if it is a choice...
13:21 on 13/01/2012
No they are still exploiting her whether she chooses to do it or not.

That is a common misconception. "Choice" implies informed participation in a decision. The participant must be able to consent, and the act must not be prohibited. Information must include likely consequences. Coercion or misrepresentation completely negates consent, and questionable activity quickly becomes not just exploitation but criminal. Sorry KCollins, but it ain't that simple.
In this case the woman is an experienced actress and knows what she is doing, She is not being exploited even though the film itself seems in poor taste on the face of it.. But such films tend to minimize the violence and illegal activity in the sex industry today. What Linda Lovelace survived was nothing by current standards.

Looks like you woke up in time to comment. *yawn*

Wonder if this film will go all the way down the rabbit hole of depravity that Lovelace's "career" took her, including bestiality?

We live in hope....

more filth, as if there`s not enough in todays society.
12:57 on 12/01/2012
Oh do get a life ffs, Are you a 60 year old virgin or something
13:59 on 12/01/2012
No, I`m not, and I`ve probably seen more life thatn you (before society became obsessed with this sort of filth, I suppose your one of those that advocates r4amming this sort of filth down our kids throats at school.

Billy, this could end up being a poignant anti-"filth" film. Linda Lovelace was forced into more and more extreme examples of pornography as well as prostitution by a physically abusive husband. This will not be pro-porn!
14:27 on 13/01/2012
Not the point. I'll bet there's plenty of people out there that will be turned on by the abuse. So in that way it WILL be a porn film.
