Lindsay Lohan was axed from a movie because she's not "bankable" -- this according a source connected with the production of the flick.
Lindsay was slated to star in "The Other Side,"
a movie about a grad student working on a deserted island.
Angelina Jolie was fired from her other day job as model for the exclusive luxury apparel clothing line St. John's for that very reason at the start of 2010. Jolie who thrives on over-exposing herself, her children and her conquest over another woman's man was told by St. John's her "personal life" overshadowed the St. John's name and product.
The days of bad publicity is still "good" publicity seems to fast be a thing of the past. With more and more celebrity taking their celebrity-ism WAY TOO SERIOUSLY feeling the crunch of industry and sponsorships fighting back.
Lohan is no stranger to bad times as the once adorable child actress turned into well you name and it is mostly applicable at this stage of the troubled actress's life. The producers of her latest flick simply said no more and dismissed her without a second thought.
"Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we'll soon be announcing a replacement," writer/director David Michaels told
TMZ.com. Lohan, 23, was set to play a grad student working on a deserted island. Apparently, the sacking came only days after Lohan’s father attempted an intervention and the director simply had already had enough. He instead confirmed that he fired Lohan from what was supposed to be her next flick, The Other Side.
The minefield and challenging line that is celebrity living and respectable actor seems to have left the latter in the dark ages when it comes to the younger generation actors. Arrogance and "privileged' attitudes have replaced the humility and graciousness seen in actors who's career remain high profiled while their personal lives are kept well under the spotlight and Hollywood couple radars.
According to sources for TMZ , the film's financial backers were increasingly nervous about relying on Lohan. Deciding that the actress was not bankable the backers opted to move the project forward without Lohan.
According to UsMagazine.com, the film failed to get financing but not because of Lindsay. Instead, the magazine claims it was down to an unknown director in addition to other major stars in this film opting out."
Jolie too is finding work a little scarce as reports suggested the makers of "Wanted" are eyeing Twilight star Kristen Steward for the lead role in the sequel. Jolie’s character died in “Wanted” and director does not see the finality of it all reversible or a bad thing at all. Instead, opting to snare a new actress for the lead without looking back at Jolie’s character even for a hot minute.
Maybe they too thought that like Lohan, Jolie is no longer "bankable. I guess you cannot be a “home wrecker and humanitarian” at the same time pursing married men on film shoots then shack before the world without some form of accountability inevitably.
From erratic weight gain and lose to erratic behavior, OMG! Lindsay Lohan from child star to Hollywood adult mess.... pull yourself together for Gods sake already!
