Another biopic about famed porn star Linda Lovelace has gotten waylaid over casting.
Demi Moore had been slated to play feminist icon Gloria Steinem in the movie "Lovelace," but dropped out Wednesday amid her emergency hospitalization for what her rep described as "exhaustion."
"We can advise she is no longer doing the movie," publicist Carrie Gordon confirmed to the Daily News.
“Lovelace,” which stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role, tells the story of the actress behind "Deep Throat," the 1972 X-rated film that birthed the modern adult film industry and ignited a nationwide anti-obscenity campaign.
Rival Lovelace project, "Inferno," famously got burned after waiting for Lindsay Lohan to sort out her legal troubles got in the way.
"Lindsay has realized that in order to get her life and career back on track, she has to be very selective with her projects," the insider says. "She wants to pursue projects like the ones that made her successful....She also realizes that she doesn't need to identify with roles that relate to issues she dealt with. Everyone on her treatment team has stressed that."
Malin Akerman was tapped to replace Lohan in "Inferno."
"Lovelace," which began shooting in December, did get one major addition Wednesday with the announcement that Chloe Sevigny was joining the cast.
