Los Angeles, Jan 3 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A biopic story of the stormy life of porn star Linda Lovelace is currently in production. Reports say at least two movies based on the life of Lovelace are currently in production. Amanda Seyfried has reportedly landed the title role.

Demi Moore, who recently split from husband Ashton Kutcher after six years of marriage, is also linked to the project. The Hollywood Reporter states that Moore will play the role of feminist Gloria Steinem in the production. The movie is expected to be X-rated.

Seyfried feels that playing the role of Lovelace will not be an easy challenge. During an interview with ABC News, Seyfried was quoted as saying that, “It’s going to be really hard and kind of terrifying at the same time. I do have some liberties there but I am playing someone that existed in history and had quite an established reputation for something very extreme.”

The 26-year-old has undergone extreme makeover for the role. She was spotted recently on location filming a scene in the movie.

On hand to play the role of Playboy’s Hugh Hefner is James Franco who is still in talks for the role.

Lovelace is famous for playing a role in the 1972 X-rated movie Deep Throat. She later claimed that her husband forced her at gunpoint to do the movie.
