It starting to seem like James Franco is attached to just about every movie in Hollywood. Today, Deadline is reporting that the actor is in discussions to re-team with his "Howl" directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman for "Lovelace," a biopic about porn star Linda Lovelace.
Franco would play pornographer Chuck Traynor while Kate Hudson has been offered the title role. Traynor was Lovelace's husband and a pornographer when she starred in the 1972 porn blockbuster "Deep Throat." Later, when she quit the business, divorced Traynor and reclaimed her name Linda Boreman, she accused him of coercing her into prostitution and pornography through bullying, beatings and even hypnotism.
As most of you know, this is not the only Lovelace film that's in the works. Lindsay Lohan was previously attached to "Inferno," before she was replaced with Malin Akerman. Both projects are struggling to find funding.
