Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Inferno’ script revealed: dog sex, beatings & burnings

Lindsay Lohan has already declared that her soon-to-be career-making performance in Inferno (The Linda Lovelace bio-pic) is “not a porno”. She said that just this week, in an interview with The Sun. Lindsay also claimed that Inferno would not be “vulgar… it’s not about the raw sex and the shots of her fully nude.” Which is weird, because everyone who has read the script thus far talks about how much sex there is, and how violent it is. Page Six already said the script would call on Lindsay to be “degraded and demoralized.” And now Jezebel got their hands on it, and there are even more details. Dog sex, abusive sex, lots of beatings, burnings, S&M sh-t, et cetera. Here’s what Jezebel had (full Jezebel piece here):

Lindsay Lohan has signed on to star in Matthew Wilder’s Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story, about the first porn star to earn mainstream recognition. We got our hands on the script, which is downright harrowing.

As you might expect, the story is full of sex and filthy language — but there’s also shocking violence. You’ll find child abuse, three orgasms, two beatings, intense humiliation and a bloody car crash — all in the first 32 pages alone.

The first disturbing scene involves a young Linda being smacked in the face by her mother, who also burns her daughter’s hand with a Bic lighter. This is page 10 —- in other words, within the first 10 minutes of the film.

But the real terrifying stuff happens between Linda and her husband/manager, Chuck Traynor, who humiliates her during a sexual encounter, making her say, “I’m stupid,” and “I’m a fat fatass” as he fingers her and brings her to orgasm.

[Jezebel then has a scan of one page of the script. The Linda character says stuff like “I’m ugly” and “I smell. I smell up the joint and nobody wants to come in.” Oh, and “I should sit in the backseat while you f-ck your girlfriends.”]

Just a few pages later, Chuck, wearing big Frye boots, kicks Linda until she is bruised all over, and then, to comfort her, kisses her bruises — then pushes hard down on the bruises as foreplay.

[Another scan – the script page has Linda being beaten and kicked while Chuck yells about being disrespected.]

From there, things just get worse: Chuck coerces Linda into turning tricks; her first encounter is in a seedy motel with five middle-aged businessmen. One fondles her breast while singing a tune from Mary Poppins. Later in the script, she gets a strange boob job, cooks naked and gets a violent spanking from Chuck. She cries — sobs — while making the legendary film Deep Throat, and has a foursome with Sammy Davis Jr. at Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, where there’s also a crowd that urges her to have sex with a German Shepherd. (Linda and the dog, Fritz, do not actually engage in intercourse; Linda gets on all fours and waves her butt in the air and the pooch gets freaked out.)

The story is detailed, vivid and lurid, and some of the lines Lindsay Lohan will recite are a definite departure from her Disney career. For instance:

[More scans with lines for Linda like: “I was put on this earth for one thing and one thing only – sucking a footlong c-ck!” and “I love it when my man Chuck socks it to me in the ass.”]

But the truth is, the script is actually incredibly well-written. If handled properly, it could be a sex/drugs/violence retro classic, in the vein of Boogie Nights. The material is there. But questions remain: Does Lindsay Lohan have the talent to play a confused, controlled, emotionally and physically abused woman trying to claw her way to a normal life? Probably. Will she surprise everyone by turning in the performance of a lifetime? Maybe. Will she show up to the set? Unsure. On all counts, we’ll have to wait and see.

[From Jezebel]

Um, okay – if Jezebel is saying the script is well-written, I’ll buy that. But I just can’t see how any of it gets made (first of all) and if it does get made, how does it not get rated X or NC-17? For goodness sake, this sh-t is disturbing. I’m sitting here shivering. It’s one thing to read accounts like this – and this sh-t really did happen to Linda Lovelace, by the way – and it can seem cold and manageable on the page. But to actually see it acted out in a film? They wouldn’t even be able to do if they had a genuine star in the role. What studio wants to touch this?

One other piece of Lohan news – the judge ordered Lindsay to be deposed – AGAIN. Ha. Crackhead.
