Bobby Cannavale Joins New Linda Lovelace Biopic

By Michael Lopez

We've been hearing about the Linda Lovelace biopic for quite some time now. The legendary porn star was supposed to be played by Lindsay Lohan. But after that fell apart, many thought the movie wouldn't see the light of day. Not so! In fact, now two flicks are in the works, including one with Bobby Cannavale.

Cannavale has just joined Lovelace, which stars Amanda Seyfried as the 70's sex queen. The part-Cuban hunk will play Butchie Peraino, one of the financial backers of the famous Lovelace film Deep Throat.

The other Linda film will be titled Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story and star Malin Ackerman. Interestingly, Inferno was the movie that originally had LiLo in the headlining role.

We're actually much more excited about Bobby's project. His movie will apparently delve much deeper into Lovelace's dark past and feature appearances from Hank Azaria, Sharon Stone, and Wes Bentley. Look for both films to arrive by late 2012.
