Lovelace To Be Subject Of Next Biopic?

Faris is an underrated actress and underrated beauty.

Whilst Jenna Jameson has had her dreams of having Scarlett Johansson portray her in an upcoming film dashed, a former co-star of Scarlett's could be set to play another porn pioneer in an upcoming film.

Anna Faris, mostly well known for the inexplicably popular Scary Movie films, had an hilarious supporting role in the wonderful Lost In Translation. Now she seems set to thankfully break clear of dreadful comedy spoofs more cleanly.

She has told MTV that she is involved in a project that will bring the story of Linda Lovelace's life to the big screen. Now THIS is the female porn icon biopic that I want to see. Jenna has never really been interesting enough.

You would imagine that such a film would centre around the making of Deep Throat, which I've often stated is an undeniably influential film if overrated as a piece of porn and cinema. But her life was interesting before and after that film.

Some will raise eyebrows at this association mainly because Faris is largely linked with the Scary Movie series. It's always been baffling to me why she stuck with that series when she's quite clearly far too good for it.

But I think she would do such a story a great amount of dignity. And, of course, we have the prospect of seeing one of Hollywood's most naturally pretty young actresses getting her kit off. So everybody wins really.
