To say Lindsay Lohan has a career of any merit is difficult to even type as she has faded into paparazzi obscurity and has to resort to making silly mock-commercials poking fun at her gossip headlines. To think she was starring opposite Meryl Streep in 2006, in the Golden Globe nominated Bobby that same year and then performing opposite Jane Fonda in 2007 is amazing to even consider.
Then the wheels started to fall off as she was replaced by Sienna Miller in The Edge of Love and replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard in The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond. This all happened as she was being blasted by studio execs and heading into rehab. To think she has done all that and she is only 22-years-old is astounding. However, Hollywood is all about adapting and perhaps Lindsay can pick up the pieces.
The latest casting update for Lohan comes from Variety reporting she will topline the indie fantasy comedy The Other Side alongside Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette.
The story centers on a grad student who must spend the summer working at a scientific institute on a remote island. She discovers an eccentric community of characters who are hiding a secret about a tragedy that took place many years before.
David Michaels is set to direct with shooting set for October at an island off the coast of Massachusetts. Michaels co-wrote the script with Phil Reeves.
Michaels tells Variety Lohan is “really committed to doing what she has to in order to change that.” We’ll see if he’s right.
