Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan fighting for Elizabeth Taylor role

We reported earlier that Trouble actress Lindsay Lohan who is still in her probation is in talks with movie bosses to play the role of Elizabeth Taylor. Now the latest buzz is that actress Lindsay Lohan now has a rival for the coveted role of Elizabeth Taylor in a Hollywood biopic about the late screen legend.

Megan Fox is now in the running to play the actress in the TV movie about her life and marriages to Richard Burton. Fox, 25, who bears a striking resemblance to a young Taylor, is understood to have already met with the producers of the film.

“I’ve been talking to Lindsay directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversations with other actresses, including Megan," said Larry Thompson, the executive producer of the film.

“It’s a very serious selection,” Thompson adds. “It’s like casting for Hollywood royalty.”

Lohan, 25, is said to be pinning her hopes on landing the role to spark her comeback after years of drink and drug abuse that wrecked her career. The troubled actress got a glowing report today as she checked in for her probation status hearing.

Her probation extends to March and unless there is a setback she would be free to start filming in Canada in the Spring. But in a blow to Lohan, Thompson said the actresses probation could be a ‘complication.’ The film, to be called Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story will chronicle Taylor’s romantic relationship with Burton.

Megan Fox is in need of a high profile part following her sacking from the Transformers film franchise. The actress was dumped from Transformers 3 after she made derogatory comments about director Michael Bay. She will be seen next with Sascha Baron Cohen in the comedy The Dictator.

Decisions for the movie’s cast will be made fairly quickly, as filming is scheduled to begin in the spring.

Try the movie forum.

Wont work unless it's a shitty RomCom where no one has to act.

This belongs in the Video Games forum.

ahaha. Agreed.

And I would choose, Stockard Channing who has years of experience... and is still hot. She also is the only one in hollywood who looks like her aside from, Fairuza Balk from the craft. I'm kinda tired of hollywood trying to sell the hot young actress look, its more then just the look it's a story being told.

No matter who wins, we all lose.

they should have a forum where only hollywood folk (directors) go on to discuss what movies their planning on doing and who they think would be right for the part, because I would love to give them a piece of my mind.

neither can act so who gives a shit

"It's a very serious selection" and Lindsay Lohan should never, ever be in the same sentence. His credibility just went down the toilet with that one.
