Demi Moore’s exit from “Lovelace” has given a lot of attention to the currently filming biopic of the “Deep Throat” star. But there are more than one Linda Lovelace films in development at the moment. There’s also the Malin Akerman starring “Inferno” to consider — though much like the fiery title, Akerman believes it’s time to light a “fire under” the project, or walk away entirely.

“Either we have to do it now, or we have to let it go,” she told MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival. “That’s one of the potentials that might be happening within the next month or two. We’ll see.”
Akerman thinks that both “Inferno” and “Lovelace” can coexist, however, due to tremendous differences between the movies.
“They’re very different films, even though they’re about the same [person],” she said. “They’re adapted very, very differently. We’ve had the privilege of seeing the other film, and it’s beautifully written, but it’s really different from the one we’re doing. It’ll be two different versions of her life story.”
Different in what ways, you ask? Take it from Akerman: “It’s very dark. It would be delving into some dark, dark places. It’s very much about an abused woman and what life is like being in that situation.”
Another important thing to note: “I’m not making a porn, I promise. No porn. You can go to the XXX stores for those.”
“Of course it’s a little bit daunting when you have somebody out there already doing [a similar movie], but at the same time, it becomes more of a challenge. It’s exciting,” Akerman said of the “Inferno” process. “This will be a bit darker, and crazy, but beautifully written. I really do hope we have the opportunity to do it.”
“it was nerve-wracking, to have to go in and sing in the audition,” Malin Akerman says.

The first trailer for “Rock of Ages” has just been released!
“Rock of Ages” will hit theaters on June 1, 2012.
The stunning Swede returned to her Canadian roots – she was raised in Toronto – for the upcoming dark comedy Cottage Country, filmed in the typically picturesque Muskokas that was covered in a dull grey smudge the day Cineplex visited the busy set.
Undeterred by the near-constant rain and freezing temperatures Malin Akerman was all smiles playing the part of demanding Cammie, girlfriend to Todd (fellow Canuck Tyler Labine) who engages in some axe-slinging when plans for the perfect proposal go awry. See? Dark comedy.
While huddled in an upstairs bedroom of the Muskoka cottage where part of the movie was being filmed, Akerman dished about the upcoming Adam Shankman directed musical Rock of Ages where she stars alongside a rock n’ roll Tom Cruise who, she assured us, can really sing and who she described as a “such a goof.”
The trailer for “Wanderlust” has just been released!
“Wanderlust” is scheduled for release on February 24, 2012.
‘Bad Teacher’ scene-stealer Lucy Punch is shivering in the cold cottage country air as Daniel Petronijevic (‘Happy Town’) takes aim at her with a bow and arrow. Tyler Labine (‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’) jumps in to stop the madness, while Malin Akerman (‘Watchmen’) takes everything in from a safe distance. The four funny people are filming a scene for ‘Cottage Country,’ a new dark comedy about an eager-to-please yes-man (Labine) trying to create the perfect getaway for himself and his super-hot girlfriend (Akerman).
Much to his chagrin, his incredibly annoying brother (Petronijevic) shows up with his loopy girlfriend (Punch). Determined not to get pushed around anymore, Labine stands up for himself — and winds up killing his brother! Hilarious antics ensue in this flick, set to hit theaters at some point next year.
The movie is set in the summer, but the fall Ontario weather has been far from warm. The chilly climate has been a particular shock for Akerman, who just finished shooting ‘Rock of Ages’ in balmy Miami alongside Tom Cruise and Paul Giamatti.
Moviefone braved the wind, rain and cold for a day earlier this month to chat with Akerman, Labine and Petronijevic about why you won’t want to miss this wacky little dark comedy.
