Malin Akerman Was Nervous About Working with Tom Cruise
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: New Line, Adaptation, Drama, Music, Musicals, Romance, Celebrity Gossip,
Malin Akerman was star-struck when she met Tom Cruise. The 34-year-old actress couldn't believe it when she was cast alongside the Hollywood legend for Rock of Ages and was nervous about meeting him for the first time but she quickly struck up a bond with Tom.
"I still get excited by working with big names. You have that initial moment of, 'Oh my goodness, I'm going to work with Tom Cruise!' And then you meet him and in 10 minutes you realize you're both just in this together, two actors who are equally as nervous and excited to be on a new journey. And star-struck feelings go away and you become partners in crime. My dream now is to work on a big film with Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett," said Malin, who had to stick her tongue in the actor's ear during one memorable scene.

“I feel like 16 tons of weight are off my mind not having to deal with the Lindsay Lohan situation,” director Matthew Wilder said of his recent decision to replace the actress in the biopic Inferno.
Lohan was set to play porn star Linda Lovelace, but was replaced following her extended stay at the Betty Ford Center. Malin Akerman will play the role instead, and Wilder is pleased with the call.
“I love working with her,” he said of Akerman. “She is sensitive and hard-working and I think it’s a great decision for our project.”

No Lovelace Movie for Lindsay Lohan
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Biopics, Drama, Independent, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
UPDATE: It's being reported that Malin Ackerman (Watchmen) has been given the role.
Despite claims that they would wait for their lead actress, the creators behind Inferno will now be recasting their film.
The biopic about adult film star Linda Lovelace was to have starred Lindsay Lohan. The producers felt so strongly about their casting choice, they even delayed production to accommodate her jail/rehab stints. Now, they’ve decided to move on altogether.
"We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan," director Matthew Wilder said. "We are currently in negotiations [with another actress] and working out the legalities of bringing her onboard."
