James Franco and Kate Hudson to take the leads in Lovelace?
In Lovelace, directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, James Franco would play pornographer Chuck Traynor, the then-husband of the wife-turned-porn star.
Linda Lovelace was best known for the notorious 1972 porn blockbuster Deep Throat. Later, when she quit the business, divorced Chuck Traynor and reclaimed her name Linda Boreman, she accused her ex of coercing her into prostitution and pornography through bullying, beatings and even hypnotism.
W. Merritt Johnson wrote the adaptation of Eric Danville's book "The Complete Linda Lovelace."
No production date has been set.
Lovelace comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, Wes Bentley, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Hank Azaria, Bobby Cannavale, Sarah Jessica Parker. The film is directed by Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman.

Nice cast, but there are far better stories to be making movies out of :P

I thought that Malin Ackerman was offered the role of Lovelace. Oh well, either way I probably won't see this movie.

I don't think so. Traynor wasn't an on-screen actor, just her allegedly abusive husband and producer. It probably won't be his ass you're going to see, @Courtney.

I like James, can take or leave Kate, but honestly, this is not a story worth pursuing.
