[Fox News] Could Rose McGowan wind up getting deep?
The talented, beautiful star of “Planet Terror” from the Robert Rodriguez part of “Grindhouse” and TV’s “Charmed” is considering joining the cast of Inferno, producer Brian Grazer’s film about legendary “Deep Throat” star Linda Lovelace, www.xxxdeepthroat.com
I’m told that already cast are Bill Pullman as Hugh Hefner and Josh Lucas as Linda’s husband, Chuck Traynor, the one who got her into porn. First time writer-director Matthew Wilder will direct from his own script. I’m pretty sure he’s not the same Matthew Wilder who sang, “Nobody’s gonna break my stride…”
“Inferno” isn’t the first attempt at telling the story of the famed Deep Throat star. In past years, both Angelina Jolie and Meg Ryan were mentioned as being interested in the role.
The movie won’t just be about Deep Throat. Lovelace’s life was full of ups and downs. Born Linda Boreman, she wrote two bestselling memoirs, “Ordeal,” and “Out of Bondage.”
According to one bio, after Linda made “Deep Throat” in 1974, she became a feminist.
She joined up with Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon, and testified before Attorney General Ed Meese’s Commission on Pornography in 1986. Lovelace died in Denver on April 22, 2002, due to severe injuries in a car accident.
McGowan, meantime, is deservedly busy. She just filmed a bunch of episodes of “Nip/Tuck” and has three or four film projects ready to go since breaking up with Rodriguez. A planned remake of “Barbarella,” however, has thankfully been scotched.
