Bret Easton Ellis and Paul Schrader’s super white-hot project (via Kickstarter) The Canyons has already hit its first casting snag. Despite announcing Lindsay Lohan and approachable porn star James Deen as the movie’s stars earlier this week, the car-crashing actress apparently hasn’t signed her contract yet.
Which may be an issue, since someone on her team has been coaching the Herbie: Fully Loaded star how to read scripts.
According to a source leak at RadarOnline.com:
“Lindsay and her team are concerned about the nudity that is involved. Lindsay would be required to do full frontal nudity, and the sex scenes are very, very graphic.”
Ms. Lohan will be playing Tara, the girlfriend of “power player and major manipulator” Christian (50 Shades of Grey, much?), who will be portrayed by Mr. Deen. The source went on to tell Radar:
“Yes, Lindsay has posed nude for Playboy, but doing it in a movie is completely different. Lindsay needs to make sure that she is comfortable with it, and that this is something she can handle as an artist.”
Apparently this Hollywood insider has never seen I Know Who Killed Me.
