The teaser poster for Lovelace was all legs, but this new one is all Amanda Seyfried. Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, Lovelace explores the life of porn star Linda Lovelace – but not just the parts of her story the public knows well.
The cast also includes Peter Sarsgaard, Wes Bentley, Adam Brody, Hank Azaria, Bobby Cannavale, James Franco, Debi Mazar, Chris Noth, and Robert Patrick.
The Plot:
In 1972—before the internet, before the porn explosion—Deep Throat was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film, featuring a story, some jokes, and an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace. Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor.
As Linda Lovelace, she became an international sensation—less centerfold fantasy than a charming girl-next-door with an impressive capacity for fellatio. Fully inhabiting her new identity, Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later she presented another utterly contradictory narrative to the world—and herself as the survivor of a far darker story.
