“Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we’ll soon be announcing a replacement,” usmagazine.com quoted writer-director David Michaels as saying.
The 23-year-old actress was set to play a student working on a deserted island. The film’s financial backers were nervous about relying on Lohan and didn’t think she was “bankable”, a source said.
Another source said that the film’s failure to get financing had “nothing to do with Lindsay. It was because it was an unknown director. All the major stars in this film dropped out,” reported the website.
The cast of the movie will have Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette. Brittany Murphy was also attached to the project before her December death.
Lohan was last seen in 2007 film “I Know Who Killed Me”. Her next role is in thriller “Machete” that will release in September this year.
