[Cinematical.com]- Once she took on the role of Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie, Anna Faris was fast-tracked to a life of big, innocent doe eyes and over-the-top slapstick comedy. But in between a lot of those mainstream laugh quests, many of which weren’t worth her time, she’s slipped in a little-buzzed performance here or there that proves she’s more than just that blonde girl from the Scary Movies. And while most of her upcoming projects are steeped in the funny, she made a surprising announcement last September that she was going to star in a “deep, dark drama.”
But it wasn’t just any drama. It was Inferno — the story of Linda Lovelace, the porn star known as Deep Throat, www.xxxdeepthroat.com the woman with a clitoris in her throat.
At the time, there was a rush on the project, and Faris said they were looking for Lovelace’s manager and hubbie, Chuck Traynor. Now, according to a recent discussion with MTV, she says that Sam Rockwell will be the guy.
Now all they have to do is figure out the money, and then we can see Rockwell get skeezy, and Faris get dark: “You’re not going to even know who I am. I’m not there right now, but I will be when the time comes. I’ll be in a very dark place.”
Is this a story you want to see? And, can you imagine Faris as Lovelace?
