Lindsay Lohan is Confirmed to Portray Elizabeth Taylor

Lindsay Lohan has signed on for her first lead role since 2009 after being cast as Elizabeth Taylor in Liz and Dick, an account of Taylor’s tempestuous relationship with Richard Burton. She was forced to drop out of her last high-profile role, as Linda Lovelace in the biopic Inferno, after breaking probation conditions by missing a mandatory progress hearing relating to a 2007 DUI conviction; instead, she attended a promotional event at the 2010 Cannes film festival.

I just wonder: have movie producers gone nuts? They would take Megan Fox at least – she also wanted this role. I have serious doubts that it was Lindsay’s amazing acting talents that got her hired. Think of all the press Lifetime has been getting because of this!

Lindsay Lohan: Elizabeth Taylor Role Confirmed!

And imagine how many people are going to tune into this movie just to see Lindsay (remember SNL?). Lately she’s been getting jobs merely because she brings in viewers – not for her ‘talent and beauty’ but because people want to see if she’s going to be a trainwreck.

Lohan said on Liz Taylor role:

I am very honored to have been asked to play this role.”

Sure, you are! Since starring as a woman who fakes her pregnancy in Labor Pains in 2009, Lohan has only been seen on screen in a small part in the Robert Rodriguez action movie Machete. Liz and Dick, however, is unlikely to make it to cinemas as it has been commissioned by the Lifetime network, which specialises in women-oriented TV dramas.

You know what bothers me? They suppose to start filming in a month and they still have no other actors besides Lohan. Who will play Dick? Who will play other parts?

To be honest I’m actually glad that Lohan signed. I want to see how bad it will be. I want to see Lohan dressed as Elizabeth – you know she will leak them.

I’ve remembered about this British Titanic mini-series they were showing on Lifetime. It looked so cheap and unnatural that I turned off in horror after 20 minutes. And imagine how ridiculous and awful will it look when Lohan will dress up as Elizabeth Taylor in some cheap decorations. Sad.
