Documentary about Deep Throat in production
Brian Grazer and Ron Howard are producing a documentary about the cultural impact of Deep Throat. The film will be directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, who previously made Monica Lewinsky in Black and White for HBO and the six-hour Pornography: The Secret History of Civilization for Channel 4. Grazer says, "I find the actual movie and Linda's story less interesting than I do that moment in society where something ignites enough curiosity that it is like splitting an atom. That single movie popularized pornography. It became the catchphrase in the Watergate scandal, it broke down all kinds of walls."
