For now it’s only been rumored but now Lindsay Lohan has officially been signed to star as Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime biopic ‘Liz and Dick.’
In an exclusive interview with E! News executive producer Larry Thompson said that they always wanted Lindsay as the lead, “We have wanted Lindsay from day one. She had a lot in her life that was going on. We needed to give her time to take care of her business, and while we negotiated the deal for her we prayed for her—and wonderfully she has behaved. She’s cleared herself and we’re ready to start this movie.”
“We truly feel that Lindsay Lohan is perfect for Elizabeth Taylor for our movie….I think Lindsay—who is very gifted—deserved another chance,” Thompson explained. “We never, of three pages of ‘what if’s’ in the negotiation, there never was ‘what if she can’t act.’ We know she can act,” Thompson continued to say.
Filming is set to start in June and it’s slated to air sometime in October.
