TylerShields.comLindsay Lohan's was dropped from
her role in 'Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story,' the film's
director said.
Lindsay Lohan's role in "Inferno" has officially gone
up in smoke.
The film's director, Matthew Wilder, told E! News
that the production company will replace the
troubled actress, who was supposed to play 1970's
porn star Linda Lovelace.
"We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long
time with a lot of love and support," Wilder said.
"Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her-and
some other issues-have made it impossible for us to
go forward."
Just last week Wilder insisted the 24-year-old
troubled starlet would play Lovelace despite her
legal problems, which included a stint in jail.
Lohan is currently undergoing a court-ordered
treatment for drug addiction in southern California.
She's expected to be in rehab until at least Jan. 3.
Wilder added that his production team is in
negotiations with another actress and would make
an announcement soon.
A rep for the "Mean Girls" star said "Lindsay is
dedicated to her recovery and together they decided
to move forward without her."
