Sarah Jessica Parker will take over the role of feminist icon Gloria Steinem for Demi Moore in the cast of Millennium Films' Linda Lovelace biopic "Lovelace."

According to Variety, Moore dropped out of the production last week due to exhaustion.

Amanda Seyfried will play 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace.

Peter Sarsgaard will play Lovelace's abusive pornographer husband Chuck Traynor.

The cast also includes Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Wes Bentley, Hank Azaria, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick, Romeo Brown, Eric Roberts, Adam Brody, Debi Mazar and Chloë Sevigny.

James Franco will cameo as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman are directing with shooting underway in Los Angeles.

The script was written by W. Merritt Johnson and Andy Bellin, which was based on Eric Danville's biography "The Complete Linda Lovelace."

Jason Weinberg, Jim Young, Heidi Jo Markel and Laura Rister are producing.

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.

There is another Lovelace biopic starting production in February, "Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story," with Malin Akerman playing Lovelace.

Parker was last seen in "New Year's Eve."
