According to the New York Post getting unpredictable Lindsay Lohan to do a cameo role in Scary Movie 5 has been a frightening experience for producers as she tried to avoid a scene making fun of her troubles. Dimension Films signed Lohan to play a cameo in the horror spoof opposite Charlie Sheen. But over the past two weeks — as the date for filming approached — Lohan disappeared, blew off rehearsals, missed her flight to the set and even bizarrely claimed she had walking pneumonia. Um… could you blame her?
At the 11th hour, Lohan did report for work, however only after she was threatened with a lawsuit by a Hollywood legal eagle and a private jet was sent to pick her up. Multiple sources say that Lohan decided she didn’t want to do the film because she thought her scene made too much fun of her. “It went pretty hard at Lindsay,” said a source, adding the script features a kiss with Sheen, and that “she’d been freaking out about it for weeks.” Um… again… could you blame her?
A rep for Lohan said, “These stories are untrue, and she is willingly fulfilling all of her obligations.” Reps for Dimension had no comment.
Malcolm Lee’s sequel for Dimension will star Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical), Terry Crews, Marisa Saks, Erica Ash, Heather Locklear and Lindsay Lohan; returning to the franchise are Charlie Sheen, Simon Rex, Roland “Lil Duval” Powell, and Molly Shannon.
David Zucker is co-writing and producing Scary Movie 5 for an April 19, 2013, release.
Synopsis:
The plot involves three dancers — one veteran performer and two upstarts who are also best friends — who vie for the lead in a new production from a snooty, aloof, imperious, and oversexed director. The reboot will spoof Black Swan, Paranormal Activity, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and 127 Hours.
