Olivia Wilde may play Linda Lovelace in upcoming film!

Olivia Wilde is currently considering the role of Linda Lovelace in an upcoming film. Lovelace was a porn star in the 1970's that brought porn into the mainstream with her X-rated film Deep Throat. As you may be aware, there is another Linda Lovelace film in the works that is going to star Malin Akerman, who stepped in for Lindsay Lohan

According to E! News. the actress is may star in Lovelace, "a biopic form Oscar-winning codirectors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. Recent reports wrongly claimed she was already signed on for the racy role. In April, it was reported that James Franco was being wooed by his Howl collaborators Epstein and Friedman for the project, too."

Here is what Wilde had to say about the part:

"It would be a tremendous honor. It's such a cool role. She was a fascinating woman—with where she came from to Deep Throat to then working with Gloria Steinem and Nora Ephron. It's really fascinating.

I'm being very careful about my next project since I'm now in a position where I can be really picky—thank God, finally."

I think that would be a nice change of pace for her since she has been in a slew of action and sci-fi films as of late. What are your thoughts on this news?
