Lohan Dumped From Movie About Manson

Posted May 9, 08 11:22 AM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Lindsay Lohan has been dumped from the upcoming Manson Girls movie—and not for the official reasons being circulated, says Deadline Hollywood columnist Nikki Finke in LA Weekly. Apparently, Lohan has become something of an industry pariah—the producers couldn’t find a single name actress willing to work with her. Lohan was to play a rich surfer girl who became obsessed with Charles Manson.

    Hollywood Movie Glut Wallops Indies A surplus of Hollywood movies is forcing many independent films off the big screen, and driving down box office takes for those that do make it, reports the Wall Street Journal. Mainstream films with bankable stars are being sent straight-to-DVD, as too many movies fight for too few theater slots every weekend. More than 600 feature films were released last year—up from 466 in 2002.

    Dark Days Ahead for Little Movies This has been a banner year for Hollywood blockbusters, but things look dour for explosion-free cinema, David Carr writes in the New York Times reports. Small movies have flooded multiplexes, choking each other out—a sign, producer Mark Gill says, of big-money backing meeting the ease of digital film-making. The money's disappearing, and eventually only good indie flicks will get made. More »
