Who Should Star in the Jenna Jameson Biopic?
Filed under: Drama, Gay & Lesbian, Casting
Jenna Jameson. As I'm sure you know, she's a pretty popular porn star who wrote How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale -- a book that stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for six weeks. (I'll refrain from bemoaning a world that lets that happen!) What is there to say? According to her Wikipedia entry, a lot -- rape, porn, implants, women, men, marriage, divorce, miscarriage, cancer. Sounds like an upper, eh? Lots of sex intermingled with heartache. We already know that Jameson wanted Scarlett Johansson to play her. Yeah right. Now IGN is helping the powers-that-be behind the upcoming feature come up with possibilities.Maybe I'm being a stickler, but I'm having a hard time thinking any actress in Hollywood could pull off Jameson, even if they wanted. The woman has one chin plant (whatever) and sported two, yes TWO rounds of breast implants to make a big triple-D. Unless they're planning to show her life without all the sex (which would be dumb as that would drastically cut into the potential audience), they've got to have a woman with ... at least grapefruits, if not basketballs, resting in their bra.
IGN offers the following actresses: Fergie, Heather Graham, Erica Durance, Rachel McAdams and Jessica Simpson. Okay, I'm on board with Fergie. But the rest really aren't porn-star endowed, since I think they are all sporting their natural curves. Check it out for yourself (no nudity, but of course, there is cleavage): natural, implanted, natural, implanted, natural, implanted, natural and implanted. I wouldn't be surprised if Simpson got even bigger and took on the role. She might be refusing it now, but it isn't like she has many options. I think they're going to have a hard time casting this sucker, so don't be surprised if we're left wondering for a while.

I'm more perplexed by a different issue.
Who would want to see this? I mean beyond the Showgirls type titillation. And it just sounds like a sales-pitch for JJ and the porn industry (with some seedy bits thrown in).
I guess this is screamed "AGENDA!" from the get-go... (case in point, shooting for Scarlet Johansen).
Boogie Nights worked because it was a good story and didn't scream agenda.

If you've ever seen House of the Dead (or at least the screen caps) you would know what im talkin about

If Mark Wahlberg can be digitally enhanced, why can't any of the women you've listed?

I have no interest...I seen some great movies like Boogie Nights and Larry Flint, I just don't think her story would be that interesting.

Actually, I have read Jenna's book and it really changed my opinion of her. She had a really rough childhood (I know, I know, boo-hoo) but she has made herself very successful at what she does, and really who am I to judge? However, that being said, I do not think it needs to be made into a movie. The book was enough. I think she should just drop it.

If you've read the book, you know there's a legitimate story here. I think it's premature to be making this now, I'd like to see it a few decades from now(perhaps after her death), after it's determined if she ever has a family. Making an current opinion on casting moot.
