Lindsay Lohan to remain in “Poor Things”
Thankfully, Lindsay Lohan has gained the support of the producers and crew of the new movie scheduled to begin filming today "Poor Things"
The producers of Lindsay Lohan’s next film, Poor Things, plan to keep her on the cast and will juggle the shooting schedule to accommodate her rehabilitation stint, they told PEOPLE on Wednesday.
"We have been asked by Lindsay to comply with her wishes to continue working on Poor Things," producers Rob Hickman and Shirley MacLaine, who will also star in the dark comedy, say in a statement. "We are trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation. We wish her love and the blending of mind, body and spirit."
Filming was scheduled to begin Thursday in Los Angeles. The film is based on the true story of two women who murder homeless men and then cash in on their life insurance policies.
The statement from the Poor Things producers offered the first assurance that Lohan’s career will remain on track despite her problems on and off movie sets.
Lohan admitted herself on Memorial Day to what her rep called "an intensive medical rehabilitation facility" after she was cited for DUI.
The producer of Lohan’s current movie, Georgia Rule, had famously scolded her in a letter for missing work last summer. The film’s director, Garry Marshall, later said he was the one who requested the reprimand.
I am glad she’s getting more support this time around.

there is a story circulating on hollywood reporter that Meryl Streep called up her good friend Shirley and asked a favor of her as a producer of Lindsay’s next movie “poor things” that she not drop the troubled,rehabbing star from the movie due to unavailability on set,but rather reschedule shooting Lindsay’s scenes after rehab. how true this is remains to be seen,but it does give interesting thought about loyalty and giving a colleague another chance. bravo,Meryl,bravo

As a social worker who has worked in rehab settings, I think it’s a real shame that they’re keeping her on the movie. Once again, no consequences to her career for her actions. Losing an acting job or two to her problems could be just what she needs to truly realize that she needs to change what she’s doing to herself.
