Lindsay Lohan and the Deadly Waves of The Ocean
Filed under: Horror, Thrillers, Casting, RumorMonger
Amidst all the partying, AA meetings, adequite e-mails and romantic comedies, Lindsay Lohan is starting to look into thrillers. She's already set to star in the upcoming I Know Who Killed Me, and now she's in talks to co-star in a new film by horror director Dante Tomaselli called The Ocean. If she takes the roll, Lohan will play "a bikini-clad, pot-smoking surfer girl with heavy family issues." It doesn't sound like much of a jump for the actress, and I can't help but wonder if the roll was written for, or at least inspired by, Lohan's own messy life.As for the film, it's been a media-friendly work-in-progress, where Tomaselli has been eager to share news of the film and how it's morphed and changed as the movie proceeds. What was once touted as a Bermuda Triangle thriller now seems to be more of a horror film-meets-Outbreak sort of tale. The director recently talked with Moviehole, and shared some new bits about the flick. He considers it to be an apocalyptic horror film about deadly ocean waves washing away "the earth's sins." The twist is that there is also an "Ebola-like" virus that is plaguing the community, although I'm not really sure how that fits into the rest. The cast already includes the likes of Margot Kidder, who plays a psychic, and Judith O'Dea, star of the original Night of the Living Dead, as "The Scuba Diver." If you're anxious for more information, the movie's website has a whole slew of news links that should help to satiate your curiosity.

I thought she was heavy on wanting to win an Oscar by the time she was thirty. Ya, nothing screams Oscar winner like a thriller. With exception to Jodie Foster, how many actresses have won an Oscar by starring in a thriller?

lindsay will have a great positive experience working wiyh dante. he is an incredible talent and an great director. i think it would advance her career and image if she did an indie with a talented team like this. she is an extremely talented actress and the media garbage takes away from the truth. taking this will show that she is first and foremost a serious professional. john cavallaro

Is it roll or role? Can you say "spell check"?
