Could Lindsey Lohan be in Ben Affleck's next film?




Remember when Lindsey Lohan was hot like in this picture?  I do.

Remember when she was a good actress?  Yeah me neither.

Like my last post about Katy Perry, take this with an industrial sized bag of salt but "Showbiz 411" reports that Lohan is "this close" to being in Ben Affleck's next film Live By Night.  Now I don't know how much anyone can trust a website called "Showbiz 411" but hey stranger things have happened.  Here's a brief  plot synopsis based on the book by Dennis Lehane:

A cop’s son falls in with bad guys and becomes one. But in Lehane’s hands, the Prohibition-era tale of Joe Coughlin’s rise to criminal power is both fresh and nuanced, packed with guns, booze, and babes as it roars from Boston to Tampa to Cuba. As Coughlin crosses deeper into the dark side--among those who “live by night and dance fast”--he provokes the question that sustains this propulsive narrative: Can a man be a good mobster and a good person at the same time? Incredibly, Lehane, who becomes more masterful with each book, has us rooting for Coughlin even as he slowly becomes the kind of monster mobster he once reviled and rebelled against.

Sorry but I gotta call bullshit on this one.  Whatever role Lohan might be considered for, I find it nearly impossible to believe that a director of Ben Affleck's caliber would seriously cast Lohan in one of his films.  Especially not one with such an amazing plotline.  Furthermore, with all of Lohan's legal troubles she is getting harder and harder to insure.

Ben Affleck will start filming Gone Girl later this year before directing Live By Night in 2014.  Lohan can currently be seen in Paul Schrader's The Canyons.
