Porn Stars to Mainstream Stars? James Deen and Lindsay Lohan in The Canyons

This is currently a trend and one I understand.

It's marketing, pure and simple.  Conservative American can scoff at it and say it's a terrible thing, but Porn is a Billion dollar a year business, and most likely, the conservative screaming about it is also the one downloading it.

Having said that, many of you know that there has been some people who have transfered over from porn to regular films.  Some have had successful careers at it, Traci Lords and Ron Jeremy are two of them.  We can argue that though Jenna Jameson is not the best actress in the world, her turn in Zombie Strippers was pretty good and it was a role that suited her well.

 Now here comes a new film, The Canyons.


 Starring Lindsay Lohan and Porn Star James Deen.  From Director Paul Schrader (American Gigolo) and writer Bret Easton Ellis (novel: American Psycho).

 This is marketing gold.  I'll tell you why.  Watch this ABC interview with Deen from February 2012.  You'll see what his fan base is and why putting him in a lead role opposite someone we all know, will only increase sales on the film.
