“Lovelace” is a film that has been buzzed about a lot ever since it was announced that Amanda Seyfried would play the iconic 1970s porn star. The film is now on track for its August 9th theatrical release and in anticipation of the release, the trailer poster has been revealed! Check it out below.

Along with Seyfried, “Lovelace” stars Peter Sarsgaard, Hank Azaria, Wes Betnley, Adam Brody, Bobby Cannavale, James Franco, Debi Mazar, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick, Eric Roberts, Chloe Sevigny, Sharon Stone and Juno Temple. Here’s more about the film:

“In 1972—before the internet, before the porn explosion—Deep Throat was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film, featuring a story, some jokes, and an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace. Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor. As Linda Lovelace she became an international sensation—less centerfold fantasy than a charming girl-next-door with an impressive capacity for fellatio. Fully inhabiting her new identity, Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later she presented another, utterly contradictory, narrative to the world—and herself as the survivor of a far darker story.”
