Lindsay was reportedly passed over for the role, which tells the story of a teenage girl blogging about her sexual coming-of-age, because the producers felt her to be “too jaded” for the part. And the author reportedly felt that Lindsay had too much “baggage” for the role:

“(Lohan) is a wonderful actress, but her fame and baggage would only work against her.”

Although it’s harsh to hear, I can understand it. Lindsay is very overt about her sexuality. For this role, people would need to believe she’s an innocent just discovering her sexuality. But there’s no reason the media needs to blow it way out of proportion…

This would be great news for Lindsay who has recently fallen upon some hard times.  Romance and gossip are the hottest items in her career right now and it is time to bring it back to her talent.  For those of you who are not familiar with Roberto Rodriguez’s work, he is the mastermind director behind such cult hits as From Dusk Till Dawn and Grindhouse.

The trailer for Machete was shot several years ago as a fake exploitation movie and was shown within the real movie Grindhouse.  Here is the official trailer, if you haven’t had a chance to catch Grindhouse yet.

The mock trailer was so well received that it motivated Rodriguez to get started on the real film as soon as possible.

When questioned about the upcoming project at last week’s Comic-Con, Rodriguez revealed few details.

“I can’t say too much about it, “Except that we start shooting in a couple weeks!”

He also added that we should prepare ourselves for the “set-up, double-crossed and left for dead” illegal immigrant who “knows the score, gets the women … and kills the bad guys!”

And while Rodriguez would not outright confirm rumors of Hollywood heavyweight Robert DeNiro signing on, he did reveal that he wants Lindsay to be part of the project.

“Lindsay’s cool,” Rodriguez said. “There’s actually a cool part in the movie for her — if she takes it.”

We certainly hope she does, too!

Lindsay will star in The Other Side with Woody Harrelson (Cheers, No Country for Old Men), who previously co-starred with Lindsay in A Prairie Home Companion. Also co-starring are Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette. Kent Harper is producer and David Michaels is director; Harper says of Lindsay:

“Lindsay’s very aware of people’s perceptions of her. She’s really committed to doing what she has to in order to change that.”

The Other Side is about a grad student who spends her summer working at a scientific institute on a remote island. There, she discovers an eccentric community who are hiding the a secret tragedy that took place many years before.

Filming for The Other Side is scheduled to begin in October on an island off the coast of Massachusetts.
