‘Lovelace’s Teaser Poster is All Legs

Here it is…the teaser poster for Lovelace which is due to arrive in theaters on August 9, 2013. Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, Lovelace stars Amanda Seyfried (as porn star Linda Lovelace), Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Wes Bentley, Adam Brody, Bobby Cannavale, and James Franco.

Debi Mazar, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick, Eric Roberts, Chloe Sevigny, Sharon Stone, and Juno Temple also star.

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.
