Lindsay Lohan's Porn-Star Biopic Is 'Scary,' Not Sexy: DirectorBy Kara Warner Lindsay Lohan Photo: Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage Despite the salacious headlines regarding Lindsay Lohan's starring role in the Linda Lovelace biopic "Inferno," director Matthew Wilder insists the film will be "scary," not sexy. TXT Over the past couple of weeks, the words "Lindsay Lohan" and "porn star" — regarding the actress' reported starring role in "Inferno," a biopic of the late "Deep Throat" star Linda Lovelace — have made for a lot of tabloid stories speculating about just what the troubled actress is getting into next. However, most of the stories and headlines about the film only focus on the fact that LiLo is playing a porn actress, and not what the film is actually about. On Tuesday, "Inferno" director Matthew Wilder talked with MTV News about the film and Lohan's role. "The way I describe this movie is that it's kind of like a grindhouse version of Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage," Wilder said. "There's a little bit of bait-and-switch because people may know Linda Lovelace's name and they may know a little bit about her — she was the first globally huge porn star. She made "Deep Throat" in '72, which was this huge crossover hit — I don't think there has ever been another porn movie that had that kind of success." Wilder said the "meat" of the film focuses on the tumultuous relationship between Lovelace and her husband, Chuck Traynor. "If you read Linda's book about her ordeal, she describes her relationship in terms that are black and white: the guy is a terrible villain, he abused her, everything that she did he physically coerced her to do, and she escaped him. So in our version we're kind of reading between the lines a little bit. It's about her complicity and her strange attraction to him and how in a weird way it was kind of a tragic love story. These are two people who loved each other." Not only that, but audiences expecting a slightly romanticized, "Boogie Nights"-type biopic have another thing coming. "I would say it's ... this is maybe too extreme, but if you can imagine the relationship between Dennis Hopper and Isabella Rosselini in 'Blue Velvet' as an entire movie, that's kind of what the movie is like. There's a canvas for this movie and it's about the move from the '60s to the '70s, and the 'summer of love' getting crushed a bit. There is a bigger canvas than just their story, but it's very intense, very acting-driven." Wilder isn't sure what kind of rating the film will eventually garner, but he did confirm that there is nudity — although not the kind that people might expect. "There is definitely nudity in this movie, but the way I describe it to people is that it's like 'Schindler's List' nudity and not salacious nudity. This is a scary movie. If people think this is some salacious direct-to-video tripe or something, I'm like, 'No.' This is a very sober, scary movie about a dysfunctional romance. It's not something I can imagine that anybody would ever be turned on by, unless they're really sick." Regarding Lohan herself, Wilder had only genuine praise for her, both as a person and as an actor. "I love her so much," he said. "I think she is so fantastic. I am amazed everyday I'll read some blurb in some gossip thing and I will read the user comments that are so hateful. ... It's so weird. I think people have a really twisted, wrong impression of who she is, what she's all about, and the bottom line is that she is a brilliant actor. We've worked on this movie, rehearsed it, read it and she is great. I think she is as good as anyone in her age group. I hope this will turn the story for her a little bit and remind people that this is someone who is serious about acting and who is really different from the cartoon portrayed in the tabloid press."

Film Reviews: A horror comedy much closer to the actor-riffing drollery of Edgar Wright and Christopher Guest than "Scary Movie"-style splatstick, "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead" is one sly slice of the ridiculous.

New Line has closed a rights deal to remake the 1981 comedy Private Benjamin with Anna Faris playing the title role originated by Goldie Hawn. Amy Talkington will write the script originated by Charles Shyer, Nancy Meyers. and Harvey Miller. Mark Gordon will produce. Between the Scary Movie films and House Bunny, is there an actress more closely replicating Hawn's comedy career than Faris?

From Andy Warhol to 'NCIS,' there are plenty of references we didn't spot the first time.By James Montgomery and Eric Ditzian Lady Gaga in her video for "Telephone" Photo: Interscope It is perhaps tribute to Lady Gaga's sprawling, spot-the-references "Telephone" video that, even after we published a fairly comprehensive Pop-Culture Cheat Sheet on Friday, there was still enough ephemera left over for a second piece. Seems there was plenty we missed in our first go-round, so we're back for round two, with special note of thanks to the intrepid readers who pointed out many of the following to us. Without further ado, here's our Pop-Culture Cheat Sheet, Part II. Once again alphabetized and cross-referenced for your perusal. 'Telephone' Cheat Sheet Photos Blue, Alektra: American porn star. A former Penthouse Pet of the Month with credits to her name like "Housewives Hunting Housewives" and "Tease Before the Please 2," Blue shows up as a leather-clad inmate welcoming Gaga to lockup with a suggestive roll of her eyes. "Chicago": Musical based on a sensational 1924 murder trial. The play's "Cell Block Tango" number (and its "Six Merry Murderesses of the Cook County Jail") are nodded to in the "Telephone" prison dance sequence. "Command & Conquer": Long-standing video game serious with both real-time strategy and first-person shooter iterations. One of three fictional ingredients in Gaga's Cook 'N' Kill lunch special is a cup of Tiberium, a valuable yet toxic resource within the series' gameplay. Dalí, Salvador: Surrealist painter, sculptor, iconoclast. While much of the aesthetic of "Telephone" owes a debt to the bizarre and conformity-busting imagery of surrealism, the appearance and use of a French baguette during the cooking scene is a witty nod to Dalí's 1933 sculpture, "Retrospective Bust of a Woman." Detroit Grand Pubahs: Motor City madmen whose 2000 club single "Sandwiches" (sample line: "We can make sandwiches") is perhaps the inspiration for the "Let's Make Sandwiches" scene in "Telephone." "Dune": David Lynch's 1984 sci-fi tripfest. In her recipe for diner disaster Gaga needs only half an ounce of meta-cyanide, a nasty poison made famous in Lynch's film based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel. GO SM Anarchy: We still have no idea what this means, but those are the words on the back of Gaga's leather jacket in the prison sequence. Any clue, readers? Honey Bun: Delicious glazed breakfast pastry tossed from the "P---y Wagon" by Beyoncé. Perhaps also a nod to Amanda Plummer's character in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction." Manson, Marilyn: Terrifying shock rocker. When Gaga is reclining in her jail cell, wrapped only in police tape, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Manson, circa his glammy, asexual Mechanical Animals period. McQueen, Alexander: Late, great fashion designer. The date on the prison security cameras (February 11, 2010) is the same date McQueen's body was discovered in his London home. Gaga famously wore a pair of his space-aged heels in her "Bad Romance" video, and following his death, tweeted a photo of the two embracing. "NCIS": Short for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, one of approximately 143 crime procedurals currently airing on CBS. The outside of the diner in "Telephone" is the same one at which Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) was killed in season five. "One Piece": Long-running Japanese manga and cartoon about a teenage pirate who has supernatural powers. We can't tell you what the animated graphic reference to "One Piece" has to do with Gaga's video ... but it's there, right after Tyrese pats a diner's rump. So, now you know! "Paparazzi": The first part of Gaga's presumed video trilogy ("Telephone" is part two). There are several references to the "Paparazzi" video in "Telephone," including the pair of flip-up sunglasses Beyoncé wears, the whole poison sub-plot, and the fact that the ring Gaga is wearing on her left hand when she takes B's phone call in prison seems to be modeled on the "mouse-ears" print dress she wears at the end of "Paparazzi." Jonas Åkerlund also directed both videos. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: Hugely influential 1967 album by the Beatles. During the motel-room sequences in "Telephone," Beyoncé is wearing an outfit that looks very much like the ones the band wears on the cover of the album, albeit updated for the 21st century. "Star Wars": George Lucas' colossal sci-fi opera. Gaga takes a tip from bounty hunters like Boba Fett when she mixes a bit of Fex-M3 nerve toxin into her mass-murdering feast. Swedish: During the WNS newscast following the duo's diner massacre, the lyrics to "Telephone" are seen translated into the Scandinavian tongue on the crawl at the bottom of the screen. Perhaps a nod to Åkerlund's heritage. Trcka, Jayne: Bodybuilder and actress. Until Trcka got the call to escort Gaga into jail, she was best known as the panty-sniffing, genital-revealing Miss Mann in the Wayans brothers' "Scary Movie." Warhol, Andy: Pop-art trailblazer. From Campbell's soup cans to bottles of Coca-Cola, Warhol was famous for tweaking imagery of iconic American brands — a tactic Gaga appropriates with her Wonder Bread-based banquet. "Wizard of Oz, The": Fantastical 1939 film starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. As Gaga and Beyoncé drive off into the unknown, Gaga turns to her fellow fugitive and says, "Let's go far, far away from here" — echoing Dorothy's pre-"Over the Rainbow" musing about a land where there is no trouble. Are we still missing something? Let us know in the comments below!
