Lindsay Lohan spotted rushing into her hotel in NYC!
Lindsay Lohan was spotted trying to sneak into her hotel in NYC yesterday afternoon, without being spotted by paprazzi.
Lindsay is preparing to start work on her new lifetime movie, ‘Liz & Dick’, in which she’ll play the late Elizabeth Taylor. How are things coming along? Fine, except they still haven’t cast the role of Richard Burton, and filming is set to being on June 4th!
A source close to production ‘fessed to E! News that “producers of the Lifetime biopic Liz & Dick have still not cast the actor to play the role of Richard Burton.”
Which, seems fairly problematic considering there are only 34 days before filming begins. So there must be a few frontrunners, right?!
Wrong.
As of today there is no final casting. They have been looking at a lot of actors,” our production-savvy source revealed.
Our source would not mention who, specifically, producers have their eye on but we’re getting nervous as June 4th nears. All the hype’s been around casting Lindsay, but this is not the Elizabeth Taylor solo biopic—the role of Richard Burton is equally as important since the flick chronicles Liz & Dick’s chaotic union.
Still, our source confirms shooting is indeed “set to start in L.A. in the first week of June”, so producer Larry Thompson better pick his Dick pretty soon if he wants to stick to schedule.
As for a reason behind the hold-up? Our production insider reveals the casting’s not as easy as it seems:
“Everyone wants to make sure the male lead not only can pull off Richard Burton, but that they have great chemistry with Lindsay. It is a double-whammy casting challenge.”
Hey Larry, if you need some advice we’ve already pinned down four dudes who we think are par-fait for the part, but we still want you Awful readers to weigh in.
Let’s cast this Richard Burton role so we can move on to more important things, like, Lindsay’s future antics on set!
I like how they’re taking their time finding the perfect actor to play Richard Burton. Didn’t it seem like a quick decision to cast Lindsay Lohan? Seems like maybe they should have slowed down and really considered giving her the role as well. I don’t see this ending well.
PS: Look at how everyone is staring at her! Especially the waitress. Priceless.
