Arrow Productions, who owns the legendary porn movie “Deep Throat,” is suing to block the release of the new Amanda Seyfriend movie “Lovelace,” set to release this Friday, TMZ reported.
“Lovelace” — a story about Linda Lovelace, who is exploited by the porn industry at the behest of her manipulative husband, Chuck Traynor — reportedly includes 3 scenes from the ’72 XXX flick.
According to the lawsuit, filed in Manhattan, Arrow originally allowed producers of a similar film called “Inferno” to use scenes from “Deep Throat.” The project failed to materialize and the plan for “Lovelace” hatched as a result, but Arrow says it didn’t give permission for that project, TMZ said.
Arrow wants at least $10 million in addition to blocking “Lovelace’s” release. The suit was filed against Millennium Films Inc and United Entertainment Inc.
