We all knew Lindsay Lohan was not happy with her Richard Burton choices, but this is getting ri-DICK-ulous…
According to RadarOnline’s Jen Heger, Lohan, who is set to play screen legend Liz Taylor, is extremely unhappy with the choice of actors brought in to audition for the role of Richard Burton by the film’s producer Larry Thompson.
The troubled actress, who only a few days ago was out partying till the crack of dawn with Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis, is set to play the Taylor in Liz & Dick: A Love Story.
But so far she is not content with the possible choices presented to her, and is allegedly demanding a new string of auditions take place in London to find her co-star.
Gossip Girl’s Matthew Settle, ex-British soap actor Sean Maguire, and NCIS: LA star Craig Robert Young have all auditioned for the role, and according to inside sources Thompson was vey happy with the three actors and was set to leave the final decision to Lohan.
However, little Miss Lohan has so far turned her party loving nose up at the producers’ choices. Shock, Horror!
A source told the tabloid website earlier today: ‘‘Lindsay declared that none of the actors were the right fit and that she wanted to go to London to look for a possible Burton actor there.
”Lindsay is being an absolute nightmare about who should play Burton. She believes Matthew Settle is too old to play the role, and she wants a major A-list star to be her co-star.
”However, her salary for the role took up a major portion of the budget, and the Burton gig will likely only pay $200,000, max. The producers don’t need to get Lindsay’s approval of who will play Richard Burton, but they want to keep her happy.”
Heger was told that the Producers will NOT be following up on Lindsay’s request for a trip to the UK because there is not a big enough budget, but are trying to appease her wishes,
The Radar source added: “There just isn’t any money in the budget, or time, to do so. The producers will try to land someone that Lindsay likes, but, if push comes to shove, they will just cast the role without her approval.”
Another source close said: “The actress is out of her mind, she wants Ewan McGregor or Brad Pitt, she’s nuts if she thinks this is possible, this is for Lifetime not Weinstein!”
The movie is set to begin filming in a few weeks… Oh dear…I can’t wait to hear how it all unfolds!
