The production of Inferno, a big-screen biography of Linda Lovelace, may soon be back on track as Rose McGowan is considering taking over the lead role.

Brian Grazer’s film about the life of the Deep Throat star hit a snag recently when Anna Faris reneged on playing Lovelace after having said yes to the project. However, McGowan has been approached about taking on the role and Hollywood insiders are saying that she is giving the project serious consideration.

Rose McGowan’s last feature film appearance was as the one-legged machinegun-shooting vixen in the Robert Rodriguez movie Planet Terror. The movie was shown in theaters as part of the Rodriguez/ Quentin Tarantino double feature project, Grindhouse. McGowan had also replaced Shannen Doherty on the network TV series, “Charmed,”
and recently shot some episodes of the cable TV series “Nip/Tuck.”

As the production of Inferno moves forward, it is reported that other roles in the movie have been cast including Bill Pullman playing the role of Hugh Hefner, and Josh Lucas (Poseidon, Glory Road) starring as Chuck Traynor, Lovelace’s husband.
