The battle of the Linda Lovelace biopics is really gearing up, with two films based on the story going head-to-head. One of them, Lovelace, is already shooting with Amanda Seyfried in the central role, while the other, Inferno, starring Malin Akerman, starts filming very soon.
Just yesterday it was revealed that Adam Brody would star as hardcore porn actor and Linda Lovelace’s Deep Throat co-star Harry Reems in Lovelace. Now Variety reports that the Inferno has cast its Reems in the form of Adam Goldberg. While generally it’s been the cast of Lovelace that’s been stronger, Goldberg is definitely better for the slightly kooky looking Reems, who isn’t exactly what you think of when you imagine a porn star.
Matthew Wilder will direct Inferno from his own screenplay, based on Linda’s 1980 memoir, ‘Ordeal: An Autobiography,’ which she wrote with Mike McGrady. Lovelace became world famous in 1972 following the massive success of Deep Throat but renounced her pornography career in ‘Ordeal’ and alleged that it had been forced upon her by pornographer husband Chuck Traynor, who will be played by Matt Dillon.
