Lindsay Lohan’s New Movie: Ye Olde Times
February 23, 2008 by Arieanna
Lindsay Lohan has joined Jack Black in a new comedy, Ye Olde Times. Lindsay’s new A-list movie role will start filming this April.
The Patriot Pictures film will follow to rival Renaissance Faire troupes that make their way through the competitive fair circuit. One rag-tag theatre troupe is about to lose its gig at Ye Olde Times Renaissance Faire after the owners of the Faire threaten to hand over the stage to a rival troupe of more conceited, classically trained Shakespearean actors. The ‘gonzo group’ must revive their act and get help from an ‘unexpected source’ to do so: 2 new backstage hands - a young actor and actress who must overcome subterfuge to prove their worth, win the day, and perhaps fall in love.
Lindsay has landed a lead role in the film, but it is unclear if she will be in the same, or competing, troupe to Jack Black. I am guessing, however, that Lindsay is the "young actress" described above. Ye Olde Times is described as a film kind of marrying Shakespeare in Love and Meatballs.
The movie also stars Cary Elwes, Missi Pyle, Will Arnett, Matthew Lillard, David Arquette, and Jason Bateman. Tim Robbins will have a cameo appearance. Ye Olde Times may be directed by R.A. White, a director not on Film.com’s list of recommended directors for Lindsay, but I’m guessing this will be a great film for Lindsay’s career.

it will be great to see Lindsay back on the movie set,showcasing more of that great talent,hopefully acting,singing,and dancing,doing the triple threat thing like she did in ‘confessions of a teenage drama queen’.no matter how many great things she does in her personal life,how many photoshoots she does,or appearences she makes,the fickle public will not let her past fade away until she has a bona fide hit movie,or perhaps a couple of hit movies,so i sincerely wish her well on her new career endeavors,and will support her at the box office,record store,magazine rack,wherever.love you,Lindsay.
two questions-
1)anyone heard anything on Chapter 27?
2)anyone heard any thing on ‘poor things’ or ‘dare to love me’?
love always,a huge fan and friend.peace

i can’t wait to see her back on the movie set!
Dave, wikipedia says that chapter 27 will see US theatrical release in March of 2008 and wikipedia also says in Entertainment Weekly’s 2008 Spring movie preview the release date for Chapter 27 was listed as March 28, 2008.
i’m not sure about ‘dare to love me’ or ‘poor things’
love you linds!
Good questions Dave I would to have an answer to those too.
Anyway I’m glad that she’s back on another project. And by the look of the cast it sounds as a promissing one.
This is a great thing for Lindsay…Can’t wait for her movies…She is the best and she deserves the best…Lindsay RUULLEESSS….Love always…peace
…a big step forward…you..
…on the right track…my babe…
…GOOD LUCK !
i know this is a little off-topic,but it still is movie related.i am boycotting the oscars this year because they have that two-faced tramp miley cyrus as a presenter.puh-leeze,she has no personality,dead eyes like megan fox,and is a hypocrite,as she likes to get wild,and still present a goody two-shoes image.anyway,i am a bit ticked off,as Lindsay was not invited to the feb05 oscars,either as a guest or presenter,and SHE OWNED 2004,AS THE NO.1 CELEBRITY OF 2004,and Mean Girls was one of the highest grossing movies,in budget vs. box office take,and the academy snubbed her,and every year since.i’ll tell you why,because when Lindsay goes anywhere,ALL the attention and cameras shift to her.can you imagine a huge room filled with the top a-list actors and celebrities,then suddenly all the cameras move to follow a single person entering?the academy can’t have her upstaging their whole lame show,because that’s what would happen.the oscars are so boring,and Lindsay would light up the whole show,steal everybodys thunder and airtime,and we,the fans,would relish the spectacle.take that haters.
love you,Lindsay.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace

agree with you a 100 percent dave! fuk the oscars! if they don’t honor lilo I refuse to watch. nobody deserves it more than her! I mean, she should’ve got her first oscar 11 years ago from parent trap! they shunned her for that so bad. that was supposed to be her oscar right there.
that show is dead anyways, if linds came, oh man she would make it the best oscars ever. I mean it’s so backwards. The oscars without the greatest actress of our generation? come on wake up hollywood! I no their not that dumb. If linds doesn’t win an oscar first, I don’t want anybody else to win s**t. the queen bee is first. those other b***hes wait, watch and go last. linds binz deserves all the honor because she has all the true talent hollywood prays for. she is the best. period. plus those others girls are so fake and boring. they make me want to throw up. linds is the realest girl in hollywood(body and everything else!) pus shes exciting, has a wonderful personality and is funny and charismatic. people can relate to linds. all those others girls, I guess we just have them because lind has to have competition or something.
I agree with you both, and Dave you especially, it seems to me, that She would indeed steal the thunder, has had a number of critically aclaimed roles, Mean Girls, as Cady Herron, should have been her oscar role, remember it was written by Tina Fey, i think I recall that, who also starred and directed in it as well, she was the teacher Math, and other SNL cast members were in it also, and it was psycho-analysed by many people as a real sceniro of what goes on in modern high schools these days, from the full development of in-groups to cliques, to outsiders, it had all the true elements of high school, not as ragingly popular as High School Musical was, where they crossed clique boundries, this one was about in fighting, and back stabbing that ever girl has to put up with from the time they enter jr. high, now called middle school, to the time they graduate from High School, to go to college. Even instructional books were written about the very issues that the movie delt with, to aid guidence counselors etc. It deserved an Oscar. was Huge-ly Successful for what it was up against in the movie theatres, again in the pay-per-view, and movie rentals, and sales, and the Oscars, snubbed it. Fie on them, a Pox on all their houses except Lindsay’s and her supporting cast members, and her close friends too. A POX I say, A Pox on all their houses!!!!
GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.
dave — THANKS! for that lucid explanation!
I have been wondering for some time now — WHY does Hollywood HATE Lindsay SO MUCH!!!
— NOW I KNOW!!
— You are 100% correct, dave — it is the . . .

(in this case … about the only thing in Hollywood that could be deemed as ‘pure’)

(ditto — same as pure)

dave, Larry R, tinkerbell — thanks — I should have seen this long ago …
hah! just plain ol’ jealousy …
Well, you really couldn’t expect much more than that from those folks, now could you. After all, they really don’t have much else to offer — ESPECIALLY IN COMPARISON TO LINDSAY!
THAT’S why they’ve been trying to bring her down! — sabotage with parties, drugs, lies, lies and lies.
(and we all know who the father of all lies is, don’t we?)
– hey Hollywood, here’s a little message from Jesus for you:
John 8:
43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
///////////////////////////////////////////////
Lindsay — I know you’ve already figured this out — that’s how you survive — and keep on surviving! And THRIVE! Rejoice, dear friend, in the Love The Heavenly Father has given you, and move on out –
Philippians 3:13 (from The Message –loosely rendered …):
Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it. Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal. There are many out there taking other paths, choosing other goals, and trying to get you to go along with them. I’ve warned you of them many times; sadly, I’m having to do it again. All they want is easy street. They hate Christ’s Cross. But easy street is a dead-end street. Those who live there make their bellies their gods; belches are their praise; all they can think of is their appetites. But there’s far more to life for us. We’re citizens of high heaven! We’re waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He’ll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him.
As Always, in HIS Love, who loves you more than anyone ever can — FOREVER!
Your Affecionate Fan
Guys,I need to tell something to you..I’m Bulgarian.. /from Bulgaria,Europe/..I don’t speak English very well..I’m sorry!..
I’m so glad for LiLo..SHe`s great actres and I`m sure the films will be wonderfull! I agree with you,guys..LinDsay will be awesome! {} Love you,Lo!
I love how much effort you ppl put into your posts
Tinkerbelle…great comment,and it is gratifying to hear other fans say and think what i do,that miss Lohan is THE best actress of this generation,and the ONLY actress that has carried on the tradition,talent,and showmanship of old hollywood,since Meryl Streep,as in all-around triple threat talent,personality,charisma,screen presence,relatable likability,and just darned interesting,as a performer and entertainer.i’ll tell you what sets Lindsay apart from all the others,in my opinion,is that she gets you,no,compels you,to care about her characters,her music,her life,her fears,hopes,and dreams,that,at the end of the day,she has truly touched my heart and soul,both cinematically and humanly,and i would give her the shirt off my back,literally.i do not care what she has done,do not judge her,i only care that she picks up the pieces,answers the challenge,throws the glove in the collective face of the haters,and that,one day,i will see favorite movie star walk up on that oscar stage…
i have five words for the haters:
“i love you,Lindsay Lohan.”
Lindsaysfriend…great comment,too.always nice to see your religious input and positivity,and a fan,as always.very nice.peace

Rachel,Georgia Rule 2007
OMG, you guys they said this was the lowest oscar rateing ever! LOL! they said the show is so boring and they need to do something quickly to liven it up because no one watches it! GET LINDSAY! DUH! dude, this made me so happy! I hate the oscars until lindsay goes and wins. LOL! ah ha they are so trash with out The best actress of our generation! they so need linds on there! I just love it when things go wrong because they dont decide to get lindsay like smart people! LOL! man it just makes me laugh so hard! LOL, those dumb b***hes! they were so dumb for not inviting her and inviting miley cyrus’s no talent a** instead! thats what those dumb a** idiots get! LOL! they are so blind for real talent! Ever since like recent years, I think hollywood is changed and all they can see is that fake, I’m just reading lines no real fuking emotion going on here, fake tears, miley cyrus type of talent. I mean, it is not like it used to be anymore with those wonderful actresses back in the day. Thats why god gave us lindsay. she is the only one who can save things. well, save hollywood. They are too lucky to have her. without linds, hollywood today would be a joke! it is right now, but linds will be cleaning that town up and getting it back to how hollywood should be in a minute and I cannot wait. Those lucky bastards. your right lindsay’s friend, they don’t deserve linds! especially after how they treated her. they should be worshiping her and kissing her damn feet! They just don’t how good they have it. And she actually wants to work and they don’t want to give her a job?! It’s just crazy!
well said tinkerbell
i completly agree
hollywood is crap without lindsay!
lovee you linds!
Tinkerbelle…i agree with your comment wholeheartedly and have to give you props for your passion and enthusiasm.i just cannot get into these ‘actors’ of todays generation,basically anyone since the 1980s,no one inspires me,moves me,grabs my attention,gets me to care or get emotional,except one outstanding,and vastly entertaining triple threat performer,the hugely talented,charismatic,beautiful yet girl-next-door,unique and so compelling miss Lindsay Lohan.i cannot believe the hypocrisy of hollywood,in not giving this young woman,her just due as a contributor to the performing arts.it has to be jealousy on the part of most people in hollywierd,that they just can’t measure up to her screen presence,talent,personality,elan,that ’something’ that just reaches out of the silver screen and grabs you,touches your heart and soul,leaves you wanting more.if you truly are a fan of this beautiful and soulful actress/singer/many other talents,you know what i am talking about.hollywierd,you better listen up,your phony,no-talent,vapid,souless skank ship is sinking fast,and only the immense talent of miss Lohan can bail out the water.i refuse to spend my hard-earned dollars on the souless clones of hollywierd,give that awesome Lindsay,a job(s),you morons.btw,i keep hearing ‘oscars sucked’ talk at work,on here,everywhere,wonder why?!NO LINDSAY LOHAN,DUH!!!what’s wrong with you people?give her the roles,and you’ll can turn it around.just like Tinkerbelle,i refuse to watch any more oscar shows until Lindsay is there,period.give the queen her due,give her the work!!!love you,Lindsay.love always,a HUGE fan and friend.peace
“don’t let the haters stop you from doin’ your thang!”
Kevin G,Mean Girls 2004
i meant to leave an example of why i am such a huge fan of this fabuLLous actress,the unique and incomparable Lindsay Lohan.in Mean Girls,the scene towards the end,where janis throws the painting at Cady,and Cady picks it up,spreading it open,realizing whats shes become,what shes done,Cady looks up,her face torn by emotion,confusion,lonliness,emptiness,and just for a second or two,a glint of tears in her eyes,not big ones,as Cady is a strong personality,a fighter,but just enough to reveal her regret and sadness.i still get all misty when i see this scene.Lindsay always hits her marks,hits just the right amount of emotion,nails the scene,hits it out of the park,and that’s why her characters are so real,because Lindsay is real,period.you haters can go screw yourselves.Lindsay is the real deal,the only hope of this generation,a shining beacon of talent in a sea of souless mediocrity.that’s the operative word,soul,Lindsay has soul,and that is something that you can’t manufacture or learn,because soul is who you are,what makes you an individual,unique,and she has it,in spades.the haters,phonies,hollywierd,trashloid media cant’ stand it,and will do anything to bring her down,so pathetic.i won’t let that happen,i got your back,miss Lohan,best of health,happiness,and good fortune in career and personal life in 2008,and beyond.love you,Lindsay.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace
“you talking to me?!”
Hallie(as Annie),The Parent Trap 1998
one more thought,
if you ever read this fabuLLous fansite,miss Lohan,i want you to know that there are heaps of great fans here,who wish you nothing but the best,and want to see you again,on the silver screen,on the radio,on the covers of magazines,wherever,and we support you,in whatever you do.just to back up my sincerity,i met you at TRL,nov05,i was the guy wearing the ringo starr/beatles t-shirt,and you signed my girlfriends’ sisters purse!yeah,i’m still your biggest fan,like you wrote on my magazine,and i just want to say,i loved your Marilyn photoshoot,good luck with your new oppurtunities,and see you on the movie set,and the recording studio.i love you,and stick it to the haters,we got your back!!!peace
“i’ll take a whack at it!!”
Hallie,The Parent Trap 1998(brash and confident,Hallie strides in,to the tune of ‘bad to the bone’,classic Lindsay,timeless,and STILL on my top 10 list,after all these years.go,Lindsay,go!!!)
coLLeen…(love the LL in your screen name)i love the phrase in your comment,’hollywood is crap without Lindsay.’WELL SAID!peace
i love you,Lindsay
you go,Glen Coco
– dave — thanks — you know I love hanging out here with you guys — just wish I could get on more often!
I agree — sort of — with coLLeen and you –but personally, I think Hollywood is just plain crap!
While acknowledging the fact that Lindsay still chooses to give it some redeeming value with her presence there, I hesitate to equate Lindsay with much of anything having to do Hollywood — she has so far out-classed the present citizenry of low-life bottom-feeders that are now the majority of inhabitants there!
yeECCH!
Lindsaysfriend…i hear you,trust me,i do,but,unfortunately,hollywierd is the only place that makes movies,commercial or indie,and a lot of the joy that i derive from being a huge fan of the incomparable miss Lohan,is seeing her,in character,up in the lights,on the silver screen,larger than life,right where she belongs and wants to be.(now,that’s a sentence!i know,right?!)anyway,we all have to sacrifice to do what we want or makes us happy,some more than others.i think Lindsay is fully aware of the cesspool that is hollyweird,but lighting up the silver screen,is a childhood ambition for her,and obviously,she is still enamored with the profession or she would quit.true artists are driven by the thought that their art,in some large or small way,brings joy to the heart of their audience,fans,whatever the following,and i do consider miss Lohan a true artist,and she has touched my heart,both cinematically and humanly.that said,i love you,Lindsay,go,go,go!!!love always,a huge fan and friend.peace
Janis:”why didn’t they just keep home-schooling you?”
Cady:”they wanted me to get socialized.”
Damien:”oh,you’ll get socialized alright,a little slice like you!”
Cady:”what are you talking about?!”(an oh-so-cute look of innocence and that sly smile,love you,Cady)
Janis:”you’re a regulation hottie.”
Cady:”wh-a-tt?!”(that smile again!i love you,Lindsay Lohan)
Damien;”own it!!!”
Mean Girls 2004(so fetch!the best high school movie,bar none,period!!!LINDSAY RULES!)
i was reading Arieannas cast list for this film,and the first two actors are people she has worked with recently.Cary Elwes played Rachels abusive stepdad in Georgia Rule,and Missi Pyle was Ashleys flaky boss in Just My Luck.i wonder if these two actors put in a good word with the casting director,as they both still had good things to say about Lindsay,following her highly publicized personal issues in 2007.you know,people still do good things in the trashloid cesspool that is hollywierd,and i wouldn’t be suprised to hear that there are a lot of fellow actors going to bat for miss Lohan,behind the scenes.after all,talent speaks for itself,regardless of personal issues or peanut gallery trashtalk from the haters.anyway,wishing you the best of health,happiness,and good fortune in the industry in 2008,and beyond.love you,Lindsay.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace
“aw c’mon,don’t preach to me,about what i can and can’t do.”
Rachel,Georgia Rule 2007
i have long stated that miss Lohan was the only STAR in hollywood,the most talented,watchable,appealing,and thoroughly entertaining personality in showbiz,and while i absolutely despise the ‘critics’,listen to this:
‘the other boleyn girl’ critic mal vincent-
‘portman,so stiff in those star wars charades,is sassy but not really dangerous as anne.she,though,is a better actress than johansson(scarjo),who is best when she has NO lines.the persistence of hollywood producers in trying to make her a star is curious since she’s been in numerous flops and is obviously miscast when asked to suggest some kind of sexpot(mary).’ hmmmm…
now,i have always despised scarjo since she cannot act and has been pushing her politics on us for years,ever since the bush-gore fiasco in 2000.politics should be left in the voting booth,not some no-talent hack who never graduated high school,telling me who to vote for.i will NEVER watch anything that scarjo is in,and she vastly represents the sorry state of affairs that hollywierd is in,and only the immense talents of Lindsay can save the day.to quote the awesome Meryl Streep,’that’s all’.peace
