I mentioned in the Lohan gossip thread that I think this film and the filmmakers are bullshit and that the courting of Lohan indicated that what they're really interested in making is a piece of exploitation, which is fine, I guess, and I feel the casting of Akerman kind of confirms that.
Also, as the article mentions, it's based on Ordeal, Lovelace's bullshit-laden biography. Yeah, this is probably going to be nothing more than a "high end" pause-n-toss movie. They can keep pretending though.
