[/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Starz/Anchor Bay is working on 'Lovelace' for Blu-ray on November 5.

Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard). As Linda Lovelace she became an international sensation, fully inhabiting her new identity, Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom. Six years later she presented another, utterly contradictory, narrative to the world—and herself as the survivor of a far darker story. The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and the disc will include a Behind-the-scenes featurette.
