First Look At Amanda Seyfried As Linda Lovelace: VIDEO
Two days before Lovelace premieres at the Sundance Film Festival, here's footage of Amanda Seyfried channeling the legendary Deep Throat star. And from the looks of it, Seyfried delivers a very compelling and authentic performance of a woman finding herself in the midst of a sexual revolution.
Check it out AFTER THE JUMP.
I mistook her for Rose McGowan. What does that mean?

Yo, Amanda, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Boogie Nights is the best film on the subject of 70's porn ever!

Funny reading comments from people not even born then. It was not only her revolution, but the revolution.

Linda Lovelace was forced to perform porn by an abusive man. You call this a revolution? When will the gay community stop glorifying porn?

Jason, we only saw a clip from what I assume is the beginning of the film. The whole movie might (and should) be about the (horrifyingly) abusive relationship.

It's almost certainly going to be an upsetting movie; this scene appears to show how a person might initially find it appealing.

The big question is will the movie have a climax or a money-shot?

Rob and Jeffrey are not exploitation hacks. They're serious filmmakers.

The better question is when will Jason/Rick stop trolling on Towleroad?

Looks great. Glad they didn't glam her up and instead she looks like an amateur starting in porn.

It's also more likely that she simply lied and feigned victimization -- jumping on Andrea Dworkin's "porn = rape" bandwagon -- because her career faded.
