Amanda Seyfried is getting more company in the pornstar bio-pic Lovelace, with Demi Moore joining the cast to play feminist icon Gloria Steinem and Adam Brody co-starring as the mustachioed X-rated actor Harry Reems.
The movie, which began shooting in December, chronicles the provocative, tragic, and controversial life of one Linda Boreman, who — under the name Linda Lovelace — became one of the world’s first mainstream, marquee stars of adult entertainment with 1972′s Deep Throat, which co-starred Reems. Claiming she had been violently forced into sex work by her husband, Chuck Traynor (played in the film by Peter Sarsgaard), she later denounced her films, and became a strident anti-porn activist. Boreman died in 2002 after a car accident.
Eric Roberts is another new cast member, playing lie detector expert Nat Laurendi. He was brought in to question Lovelace as a fact-checker for her book Ordeal. The transcript of his questions is harrowing reading, and could easily serve as the framework for a story about her life.
Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, and Wes Bentley also co-star in the movie alongside Hank Azaria, Robert Patrick, Bobby Cannavale, and Chris Noth. Lovelace is being directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, best known for another counter-culture movie — the Allen Ginsberg film Howl.
Brody will appear as Lovelace's "Deep Throat" co-star Harry Reems, one of the most notorious pornographic actors of the 1970s
