Lindsay Lohan to star as Linda Lovelace in Inferno
The site confirmed the news with the film's producer, Wali Razaqi, who said that the news will be officially announced later this month at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was also said that Lohan may be at the festival in person for the announcement.
"We've all thought that Lindsay would be a great choice for a while now, and we're all convinced that she is going to do it," Razaqi told the site. "For at least a year, the director [Matthew Wilder] and I have gone back and forth imagining how awesome of a performance she could give if she was in the movie."
The site also managed to confirm that actor Bill Pullman has also been cast in the film, playing Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. The film was said to delve into Lovelace's life, showing, "the difficult stuff she went through and overcame," said Razaqi.
"I would say it's probably one of the most challenging roles any actor could play -- and not because of the sexual content, necessarily -- but more because she was so battered and beat up emotionally, that I think it's gonna take everything Lindsay has to really be able to pull it off," Razaqi added. "Not that Lindsay's life is similar in any way -- but she's been through a lot of ups and downs. A lot of times you're loved and then you're hated, and I think she can relate to those emotions and feelings. One week she's the 'it' girl, and the next, she's the 'what are you doing?' girl."
We'll be sure to keep you posted on any further news regarding Inferno as soon as we have more information.
Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story was released in 2011 and stars Malin Akerman, Bill Pullman, Sharon Stone. The film is directed by Matthew Wilder.

Hope she doesn't get fired off set while making this one. She was originally going to do a film called Florence back in 2008, playing a stripper and bearing nudity, not sure what happened with that. And though I used to think Lohan was hot and had lots of talent, her drug/sex escapades pretty much flushed both of those down the drain. I would say she hasn't been the "it" girl for some time. Her movies get scrapped left and right as soon as she goes back into rehab, but I would love nothing more than to see her clean up her act for good and start taking her career more seriously like when she was starting out. However at this point it may be unsalvageable, and even a New York Magazine full-frontal nude photoshoot won't be able to help her.
