In a conflicting piece of news, Anna Faris has decided against playing Linda “Deep Throat” Lovelace in Matthew Wilder’s biopic, Inferno. Conflicting, because the pop-culture-scientist part of me would love to see Faris branch out beyond comedy to dramatic work, but the Reject part of me is happy to see that we don’t have to make anymore Deep Throat Puns. We were seriously running low.

Unfortunately, according to Moviehole (and we’re back!), Faris’s reason for quitting the project was precisely that she wanted to focus on comedies. To avoid such heavy fare.

So what do you think? Do you like Anna Faris right where she is, making us laugh or would you like to see her broaden her acting horizons and head toward serious roles?
