Lindsay will to Deep Throat

Last we heard from Lindsay Lohan about the Deep Throat project, she was swearing up and down she had been cast as Linda Lovelace. This wasn’t the strangest thing to hear because it seems like she’s been preparing for the role her whole life (zing!). However, the rumor has been confirmed by the LA Times.

“We’ve all thought that Lindsay would be a great choice for a while now, and we’re all convinced that she is going to do it,” Razaqi said. “For at least a year, the director [Matthew Wilder] and I have gone back and forth imagining how awesome of a performance she could give if she was in the movie.”

As far as what Lohan will actually be doing in the film, the producer was less forthcoming. He did disclose that Bill Pullman is attached to play Hugh Hefner in the movie, which will be based on the real events of Lovelace’s life. The drama will delve into “the difficult stuff she went through and overcame,” he said.

“I would say it’s probably one of the most challenging roles any actor could play — and not because of the sexual content, necessarily — but more because she was so battered and beat up emotionally, that I think it’s gonna take everything Lindsay has to really be able to pull it off,” he said. “Not that Lindsay’s life is similar in any way — but she’s been through a lot of ups and downs. A lot of times you’re loved and then you’re hated, and I think she can relate to those emotions and feelings. One week she’s the ‘it’ girl, and the next, she’s the ‘what are you doing?’ girl.”

Lindsay must be confused about the “great choice for a while now” comment. She doesn’t know whether to feel honored or insulted. On one hand, he might be calling her a well qualified actress who may have been their first choice. On the other, he might be calling her a cocksucker.
