Trailer watch: Lovelace

Detailing one of the most famous names in adult film history, Lovelace is the story of Linda Lovelace. The Deep Throat actress rose the prominence in the 1972 film, titillating throngs of viewers in cinemas across the world. Lovelace (born Linda Boreman), quickly grew wary of the business and became an anti-porn activist in the 1980s. But not before her name became synonymous with the film and its consequences.

Sadly, Boreman was involved in a tragic car accident in 2002 and died after being taken off of life support.

The film Lovelace, is one of two autobiographical films about Boreman’s life. This one stars Amanda Seyfried in the title role with support from Peter Sarsgaard, Sharon Stone, Adam Brody and Juno Temple. Check out the trailer to get a glimpse of what’s in store, including all that glitzy 70s fashion and one of two pornstaches.

Lovelace premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and will see release this August in the United States.

Trailer watch: Amanda Seyfried in ‘Red Riding Hood’

Fresh from the acclaim received in Chloe, rising starlet Amanda Seyfried features in Red Riding Hood; a horror remake of the classic fairy tale done with an added dose of werewolf. Yes, werewolves. As mainstream media continues their love affair with these shape-shifting beasts, leaving us all in an endless vortex of lycanthropy, what can we expect next, the boy who cried werewolf?

Seyfried plays Valerie, a girl whose village is being terrorized by a werewolf. She seeks the help of a hunter to rid the village of the menace, but is the werewolf someone from the village?

It doesn’t look too bad, some great looking cinematography and, hate to say it but, well crafted mise-en-scène.

Co-starring Gary Oldman and directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), Red Riding Hood opens in cinemas March 11, 2011.
