Akerman replaces Lohan in 'Inferno'
By Adnan Tezer Nov 22, 2010, 20:01 GMT
Malin Akerman will star in the Linda Lovelace biopic "Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story," replacing Lindsay Lohan.
According to Variety, Matthew Wilder ("Your Name Here") is directing from his own script, based on 1980's "Ordeal: An Autobiography" by Lovelace and Mike McGrady.
Muse Productions' Chris Hanley is producing with Jordan Gertner.
Lohan was set to play the role of Lovelace earlier this year but Wilder indicated over the weekend that her continuous legal troubles and the impossibility of insuring her required him to seek another actress.
Lohan was ordered last month by a judge to remain at a rehabilitation facility in Rancho Mirage, California until January 3, 2011.
Lovelace shot to fame with the landmark 1972 porno movie "Deep Throat," which was one of the first porn movies to reach into mainstream culture.
Lovelace, whose real name was Linda Susan Boreman, later denounced her pornography career and became a spokeswoman for the anti-pornography movement.
She died in 2002 following a car crash in Denver.
Akerman's credits include "Watchmen," "The Proposal," "Couples Retreat" and "The Romantics."
