As if there really needs to be two upcoming films about Linda Lovelace...

Lindsay Lohan was originally attached to star in Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, with Matthew Wilder attached to direct from a script he wrote (that made the 2008 Black List). But now Malin Akerman is attached as the lead.

Kate Hudson has been offered the title role in Lovelace - script by W. Merritt Johnson, based on Eric Danville's book The Complete Linda Lovelace - which is an entirely different project!

James Franco is in discussions to play Lovelace's husband and pornographer Chuck Traynor in this second biopic with Hudson, to be directed by Howl filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.

But according to various online reports, both films are still trying to find funding. Think either of them will make it to the big screen?
