Lindsay Lohan stars in the upcoming film entitled The Canyons. The indie flick could be the troubled actresses comeback to acting where she stars alongside adult film actor, James Deen.
Lohan opens up the trailer by asking, “Do you really like movies?” She continues, “No, really .. I don’t know. Maybe it’s jut not my thing anymore.” Canyons is a film about the youth, glamour, and sex in present day Los Angeles. It is directed by Paul Schrader, who also wrote for Taxi Driver and acted as both writer and director for American Gigolo. American Psycho writer, Bret Easton Ellis, wrote the script for the offbeat film.
Filming The Canyons wasn’t as smooth as the crew had hoped. There were many rumors that Lindsay Lohan was a pain to work with and caused many scenes off camera. One instance, the actress locked herself in her trailer for hours because she wasn’t comfortable filming a sex scene. There were also rumors that Lohan often showed up to set drunk and late. She even lost the role, but got it back after begging Schrader at his hotel room to keep her on. He did so because it was too late to recast and they had already invested so much time and money into the film.
Nonetheless, the film has wrapped up and set to premiere next month.The Canyons opens up in theaters and on-demand cable channels August 2.
