Lindsay Lohan to Do a Pile of Drugs, Have a Lot of Freaky Sex

Well, this post is just a big pile of yuck.

A while back, it was announced that Lindsay Lohan, whose career, popularity, and health are going in the tank at the kind of pace usually reserved for meth addicts and actual prostitutes, is set to play Linda Lovelace in the biopic Inferno. If by some bizarre chance you’re either too young or too innocent (HA!) to know who Lovelace is, she’s one of the most famous ’70s-era porn stars, most well-known for her performance in the infamous Deep Throat. Lovelace (real name Linda Boreman) would later go on to renounce her porn career, saying that her then-husband Chuck Traynor forced her into it, plying her with drugs and physically, sexually, and mentally abusing her, claims disputed by many other people — Lovelace’s track record with the truth alleged to be somewhat spotty, unfortunately. She would later become an anti-pornography activist.

So, to recap, Lindsay Lohan is set to play a drug-addicted porn star. Insert your own life-imitating-art jokes here. Actually, Lovelace is a pretty fascinating, tragic figure to portray, and given that I’ve pretty much accepted that Mean Girls was a fluke and that Lohan is an absolutely shit actress, I don’t exactly have high hopes.

Regardless, details about the script for the film, written and directed by Matthew Wilder, have emerged, and they’re… intense. Detailing child abuse, sexual humiliation, gang bangs and God knows what else (Lovelace is alleged to have starred in a bestiality flick as well, so who knows how far down the rabbit hole the film will go), it’s lurid, freaky stuff. It’s also, according to all who have read it, an excellent, well-written script that could potentially become an incredible film.

The question is whether or not Lohan is the right choice. Right now, every part of me says no. But I certainly wouldn’t mind being proven wrong.

Head over to Jezebel for more details and to read a couple of pages from the script.

Lindsay Lohan to Do a Pile of Drugs, Have a Lot of Freaky Sex

They could probably just title this movie "Tuesday".

I was watching The Soup, and Hottie McHale showed a clip of the director describing the nudity "Not as Skinemax nudity, more like Schindler's List nudity."

.....no thank you?

The question is whether or not Lohan is the right choice. Right now, every part of me says no.

Given the depth of her "acting" in her last few screen roles -- I Know Who Killed Me, Georgia Rule, Labor Pains -- I'd agree with you.

Then again, if Lindsay Lohan can't muster the capacity to play a drug-addled sex-worker, then she might as well hit the Amanda Bynes' Twitter Retirement Camp!

No no no, Tuesday is "Find New Ways to Lie Like a 9-Year Old to a Judge and Get Away With It Like I Have Some Kind Of Dicklomatic Immunity".

You were thinking of Thursday.

'Deep Throat' was/is a boring-ass movie, and while Lovelace my be a 'pioneer' in adult films, she was really way too homely to get much more work (hence the 'bestiality' film, only one I'm aware of) and she was quickly overshadowed by Georgina Spelvin, Marilyn Chambers, Seka and others who actually enjoyed having sex onscreen in the 70's.

Lohan's a fucked-up mess alright, but an absolute beauty queen compared to Lovelace.

"The question is whether or not Lohan is the right choice. Right now, every part of me says no. But I certainly wouldn’t mind being proven wrong. seeing her boobs."
Fixed.

Maybe she needs this too-close-to-real-life role to finally get back on track.

A great script?

Who the fuck wrote the dialogue for that mess?

The whole time I was reading those excerpts I was shaking my head.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at June 30, 2010 12:30 PM

The script reads, "It leaves her tremendously embarrassed and overwhelmed, as if drowning."

This makes me sad for the screen-writer. He has such a clear idea of what he wants to see from the actress, but LL simply doesn't have the chops to pull it off.

Feels need to take second shower of the day.

Unless Lohan goes the full Sevigny, I won't be watching this.

I see what you did there.

In defense of Lyndsy Lohan: aka Mean Girls was not a fluke.

She was a good actress when she was younger. She did a good job of playing twins in the horrible remake of The Parent Trap given that she was eleven and there is only one of her, thank the gods. Though I might be over hyping her performance because I was relieved it stared someone other than the Olson Twins.

And her portrayal of a 40something woman stuck in the body of her 15 year old daughter was really remarkable. She had the much harder role and I though she out acted Jamie Lee Curtis.

Sadly, her brief friendship with Paris Hilton derailed her life. I don't know if Paris Hilton is directly responsible for this or not, but once Lyndsey met drugs girl lost the ability to act.

Since she's exactly ten days older than me, I always find an apt comparison to my post-grad school unemployment and rampant drug use to Lindsay's, albeit on a very small scale. It's comforting and depressing at the same time...
