Radius-TWC debuted the first trailer for porn star biopic “Lovelace” on Wednesday.

Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, the true-life drama stars Amanda Seyfried as Linda Boreman, who, as Linda Lovelace, became the world’s first erotic superstar due to the success of “Deep Throat.”

“There’s an idea of her is this one-dimensional character who has this talent for deep-throating,” Seyfried recently told Variety. “We wanted to tell her story from her point of view.”

“It’s a story about a woman trying to define herself,” Epstein added.

“Lovelace” debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January and will debut in U.S. theaters Aug. 9.
