Poor Things now canned because Lohan can't stop drinking
Poor Things, that slightly interesting comedy flick which would see veterans Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis as members of the 'grandma gang' who exploited innocent people through drug scams, insurance frauds and even murder has now been canned according to Page Six. The reason? Well isn't it obvious.. Lindsay Lohan.In early June, we reported that the movie had surprisingly been delayed less than a week after Lohan had signed up to the project because of her need for a 30 day rehab treatment with vocal support coming from her co-star MacLaine. The movie was then expected to continue once Lohan got out of rehab. However, in an event that every movie blog writer or visitor could have predicted, Lohan went partying last weekend in Las Vegas which is now said to have scared off the bond companies from financing the flick. This means the funding has now gone and the flick is dead. Lohan herself has declined to comment on the matter but a friend is reported to have argued that she is the innocent victim in all this and that it's the studio who has the problems with the movie and they are just looking for a scape-goat. You know what, I'm half inclined to believe that last comment. I mean after all, wouldn't you just replace Lohan if you couldn't use her? It's not like there isn't a whole bunch of early 20's young hot women with no talent to choose from. It makes no sense just to can the picture (or wait for her to finish rehab) when you can just go out and find someone else. And besides, she wasn't even the lead character. Shame about this movie because I was quite looking forward to seeing MacClaine and Dukakis as the 'grandma gang'. Rosario Dawson and Channing Tatum (although some sources are saying he was fired on set, which just adds to the bizarreness of this film) were also set to star for director Ash Cohen, the cousin of Sacha Baron Cohen. Lindsay Lohan has once again found herself with an empty upcoming schedule. source - cinematical
