Another Linda Lovelace Movie - This One With Amanda Seyfried


After the whole Lindsay Lohan debacle about playing Linda Lovelace and how the part eventually went to Malin Akerman, you would think that would be the end of Linda Lovelace talk in movies. Nope. Turns out there is another movie in development about Linda Lovelace and this one would star Amanda Seyfried as Linda and Peter Sarsgaard as her husband. With that cast it sounds like it has a much better chance of getting made. However, here is my advise to Amanda Seyfried. Don't do it. It is one thing to be topless in a movie and have some simulated sex scenes. Kate Winslet has shown you can do that all day long in every movie and be treated as a serious actress. The thing is there is a line. I am not sure what that line is but when you are in a movie and just have one nude scene after another and spend the entire movie almost naked and portraying a porn star, people remember that and do not want you for anything else. This kind of movie will not affect Peter's career at all. Amanda though is on the rise and has a chance to be A list and this kind of thing could push her off the chart into never be seen again. Did she not see Showgirls? Tell me what happened to Mariel Hemmingway after Star 80. Even someone like Kim Basinger After she did 9 1/2 Weeks, people saw her differently and I don't think she was ever thought of as anything but the person who made that movie. Sharon Stone after Basic Instinct? Yes, all of them did other projects, but they never reached the level they were at prior to that movie again.
