Good new, you guys! Olivia Wilde, it seems, is set to play porn star Linda Lovelace in the upcoming biopic Lovelace. (To clarify, this is not the same Linda Lovelace film that Lindsay Lohan dearly departed. That one's called Inferno and now involves Malin Akerman and Matt Dillon in the lead roles.)
So Hollywood is making two (TWO!) films concerning the late porn star? Yes.
Lovelace is being made by Howl directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. The project will tell the story of Linda Lovelace, a woman who was "used and abused by the porn industry at the behest of her abusive husband before taking control of her life and finding redemption as a feminist and anti-porn crusader."
Like most films these days, James Franco's name is also being thrown about to star in it.
Wilde told E!, "I'm being very careful about my next project since I'm now in a position where I can be really picky - thank God, finally." Adding that playing Lovelace would be "a tremendous honor. She was a fascinating woman, with where she came from to Deep Throat to then working with Gloria Steinem and Nora Ephron. It’s really fascinating."
