Demi Moore to Play Gloria Steinem in ‘Lovelace’ Biopic

In a bit of irony to start off the New Year, we learn that Demi Moore will portray the porn-hating feminist activist Gloria Steinem in the upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic.  This particular version is based on Eric Danville's biography "The Complete Linda Lovelace" and has Rob Epstein (Howl) and Jeffrey Friedman as co-directors.  Lovelace stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role and has a stellar supporting cast that includes: Peter Sarsgaard, Eric Roberts, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Wes Bentley (The Hunger Games), Hank Azaria, Chris Noth, and Robert Patrick.

Amanda Seyfried to Star in Linda Lovelace Biopic?

Amanda Seyfried a big reason why 'In Time' suckedThere are a handful of actors in Hollywood who are just plain terrible with each performance, yet he or she somehow keep getting bigger and better roles.  Amanda Seyfried, who single handedly made a very bad In Time movie almost impossible to finish watching, falls into that category.  Yes, her performance was that unbearable.  

Seyfried is now in talks to play infamous pornstar Linda Lovelace in one of two upcoming biopics about the adult film star-turned-porn activist, whose life ended in tragedy, according to Variety.

Movie Review - 'Red Riding Hood'

Red Riding Hood Starring Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Shiloh Fernandez, Max Irons Directed by Catherine Hardwicke Rated PG-13

It may seem a bit unfair that pretty much any discussion of Red Riding Hood is going to compare it to Twilight, but such a comparison is hard to resist. Director Catherine Hardwicke directed both films—though, it's important to note, she wrote neither—and she's doing a fine job of putting herself into a tight little cliche of a box all on her own. Her previous film featured vampires, and this current one features werewolves. I'd be putting my money on the next one having zombies in it, if her next two projects weren't already listed on her IMDB page. I suppose "thinly-veiled abstinence allegory about zombies" just wouldn't sell, although these days, who knows.

Red Riding Hood, as told by screenwriter David Johnson, is an amalgamation of previous iterations of the fairy tale, with Hardwicke's overbearing themes from Twilight layered heavily on top. Though many aspects of the film's story will seem new and different to those of us who are familiar with the Brothers Grimm telling of it, Wikipedia makes it clear that most of them are picked from earlier versions of the fable. Here the title character is named Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), and she lives in what amounts to a cheaper-looking version of The Village. The whole film appears to have been shot on sound stages, with generic "snowy forest" backdrops behind the straw huts, and cartoonishly spiky trees populating the area around it. When Valerie walks through the forest to go visit her grandmother (Julie Christie), I half expected one of the trees to start throwing apples at her.
