Back in May it was reported that Lindsay Lohan had replaced Anna Faris in Matthew Wilder's Linda Lovelace biopic, Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story. Well scratch that gig off Lohan's to-do list, because she's just been replaced by Malin Ackerman.
Ackerman, probably best recognized from Watchmen
and Couples Retreat
, impressed the studio enough that they figured why bother going through all the problems insuring Lohan for the production, since she's probably about 50/50 to wind up back in rehab. An inside source who contacted Deadline says "My understanding is that Lindsay was dropped as she's impossible to insure and the producers loved Malin."Lovelace was best known for her starring role in Deep Throat back in 1972. Known at the time as the first porn movie with an actual story(such as it was), it went on to become the most successful porn flick of all-time. Afterwards, Lovelace rebelled against the industry that made her famous, claiming that she was pressured into making the film. She spent the later years of her life as an anti-pornography activist before she was tragically killed in a car accident back in 2002.
