Once she took on the role of Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie, Anna Faris was fast-tracked to a life of big, innocent doe eyes and over-the-top slapstick comedy. But in between a lot of those mainstream laugh quests, many of which weren't worth her time, she's slipped in a little-buzzed performance here or there that proves she's more than just that blonde girl from the Scary Movies. And while most of her upcoming projects are steeped in the funny, she made a surprising announcement last September that she was going to star in a "deep, dark drama."

But it wasn't just any drama. It was Inferno -- the story of Linda Lovelace, the porn star known as Deep Throat, the woman with a clitoris in her throat. At the time, there was a rush on the project, and Faris said they were looking for Lovelace's manager and hubbie, Chuck Traynor. Now, according to a recent discussion with MTV, she says that Sam Rockwell will be the guy.

Now all they have to do is figure out the money, and then we can see Rockwell get skeezy, and Faris get dark: "You're not going to even know who I am. I'm not there right now, but I will be when the time comes. I'll be in a very dark place."

Is this a story you want to see? And, can you imagine Faris as Lovelace?

Back in June, while talking about Anna Faris' new Playboy film, our Erik Davis said: "Calm down there guys, her career hasn't tanked enough for Anna Faris to begin entertaining the same ideas you were entertaining after reading the title of this post." Well, now she is -- kind of. MTV has reported that the actress is in a rush to get a feature on Linda Lovelace in production, before the looming strike. For the handful of you that don't know -- Lovelace is the gal behind the epic porn film Deep Throat.

As if Faris playing a porn star, an uber famous one at that, wasn't enough -- she says: "It's a really deep, dark drama -- and it would be cool for me to do." The film is called Inferno, she's putting it together "alongside a first-time filmmaker," and she says that Matthew Wilder will direct it. No other big names have been added to the cast, but Faris says that they are currently struggling to cast the role of Lovelace's manager and husband, Chuck Traynor.

After playing a woman whose clitoris is in her throat, and becoming world-famous, Lovelace became an anti-porn activist. But her life was a heck of a lot more than that role. In the biz, she was involved in bestiality and pretty hardcore sex, and she claimed that her first husband, Traynor, forced her into porn at gunpoint (similar to how he acted with second wife, porn star Marilyn Chambers)*. With all this in mind, who would have ever guessed that Anna Faris would be the actress to take it on? Can you see her in the role?

*Proof that even writing about porn rots the brain: Mixing up the names Boreman and Traynor. Thanks to those who spotted that!
