Filming of Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming biopic about Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace was scheduled to start in August. Rumors began circulating this week that she had been dumped, due to her 90-Day rehabilitation program.
Fortunately, Inferno’s producers have jumped to her defense, declaring their loyalty to the star. To rebuff any further speculation, new images of Lindsay posing in character as Linda Lovelace have been released.
Wearing white underwear, she poses provocatively on a bed surrounded by men.
In another shot the 24-year-old gazes at herself in a mirror, wearing a brunette curly wig.
Lindsay does bear a resemblance to the 1970′s porn actress, who died in a car accident in 2002.
The photographs were taken by Lohan’s friend, photographer Tyler Shields, for his book The Dirty Side of Glamour, before her incarceration.
Lindsay’s mother called the director yesterday concerned that there was some truth to the statements about Lindsay getting dropped from her role.
‘These stories are completely unfounded and untrue.’
The statement confirms that shooting has been rearranged to commence after Lindsay has completed her stint in rehab:
“The current production schedule, which works around L.L.’s current court obligations, has a start of photography in November of this year. We never considered recasting Inferno, and never would recast it. There is no actor more ideally suited to this role than Lindsay, and we are content to start production after she finishes what the court mandated.”
