[1] It was just a few days ago that Demi Moore dropped out [2] of the porn biopic Lovelace after being hospitalized for "exhaustion," but it looks like filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman may be close to finding their replacement already. Us Weekly [3] reports that Weeds star Mary Louise Parker is being considered as a possibility to step in for Moore, who was previously set for a small part as feminist icon Gloria Steinem. If the report proves true -- and if Parker accepts -- she'll be joining a sprawling cast that includes Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Adam Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Debi Mazar, Wes Bentley, Romeo Brown, Robert Patrick, Eric Roberts, and Chloë Sevigny, with Amanda Seyfried starring as Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace. Shooting on the project is currently underway in Los Angeles, though no release date has been announced at this time. Parker...

[1] Even as Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Lovelace loses one star with the exit [2] of Demi Moore, it's gained another as Chloë Sevigny boards the cast. Sevigny will play a feminist journalist working on a piece about Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried) for a men's magazine. She joins a sprawling ensemble cast that also includes Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Adam Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Debi Mazar, Wes Bentley, Romeo Brown, Robert Patrick, and Eric Roberts. A replacement is being sought for Moore, who was set for a small role as feminist icon Gloria Steinem. The drama chronicles the life of the adult film actress, who gained worldwide fame in the '70s before quitting her career and joining the anti-pornography movement in the '80s. Shooting on the film is currently underway in Los Angeles, though no release date has been announced at this time.

Lovelace may have lost a Demi Moore, but it just gained a much better actress. THR reports that Chloë Sevigny has signed on to the movie, in the role of a feminist journalist who is sent to interview the legendary porn star (played by Amanda Seyfried) and find out the real person behind the legend. The role Moore was to play, that of activist Gloria Steinem, has yet to be recast. But, considering we’re only a day removed, that shouldn’t be too surprising.
Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, Lovelace has one hell of an ensemble cast including Hank Azaria, Adam Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Chris Noth, Sharon Stone, Juno Temple, Debi Mazar, Wes Bentley,Romeo Brown, Robert Patrick, and Eric Roberts. Peter Saarsgard will be co-starring as Lovelace’s controlling husband, Chuck Traynor, and James Franco will have a cameo as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

Even after we get our first look at Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard, Lovelace adds more. THR informs us that Goodfellas actress Debi Mazar and Battle: Los Angeles star Cory Hardrict will, like much of the cast, play historical figures in the porn biopic. The former will appear as Dolly Sharp, the co-star to main character Linda Lovelace in her most iconic work, Deep Throat; the latter is Frankie Crocker, a DJ often considered to be the father of FM radio. Romeo Brown was originally cast in this role back in December, but something obviously didn’t take there.
While it’s obvious how Sharp will figure into the story, I’m all the more curious how a radio host ends up getting involved with a porn icon. (Swinging ’70s, or something of that nature.) I, unfortunately, also lack the proper knowledge when it comes to either actor — in order...

Peter O'Donnell, one of the greatest of comics writers, died last night at the age of 90. He is best known for his creation Modesty Blaise, which ran in newspapers from 1963 to 2001, initially drawn by Jim Holdaway. He also created Romeo Brown (again, with Holdaway) and for many years authored the classic time-travelling adventure strip Garth. O'Donnell also adapted Ian Fleming's Dr. No to comic strips.
Peter also wrote 11 Modesty Blaise novels and two short story collections, as well as nine gothic romance/adventure novels under the name Madeleine Brent.
A serious, considered and and gentle man, O'Donnell was quite the fan of tennis and was a regular at the annual Wimbledon championships.
