Hollywood- Frank Meyer of Variety writes the following: Last week, I mentioned that “24” star Elisha Cuthbert is portraying a porn star in the upcoming movie “The Girl Next Door”, a movie from Regency to be released via 20th Century Fox on March 12. The flick tells the tale of a high school senior, Emile Hirsch (“Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys”), who falls in love with the girl next door only to discover that she’s a former porn star still trying to get out of the game.

One porn journalist and adult screenwriter, Gene Ross of AdultFYI.com, is up in arms about the film, claiming that 20th Century Fox “ripped off” the idea from a script he wrote.

The twist is that the original idea allegedly came in the form of an actual porn movie with the exact same title. If true, this means that a big, mainstream monolith movie studio might have swiped their idea from a small-scale porno movie. Now, if that doesn’t show how porn is seeping its way into pop culture, I don’t know what does — movies have certainly been made based on everything from paintings to theme park rides, but porn’s a first.
