In this Sunday's New York Times you can read an article with the exciting title of "Here is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie." The article by Stephen Rodrick details the filming of "The Canyons." a micro-budget film where Lindsay is paid only a hundred dollars a day of filming. In several instances the writer details actions by Lindsay that might violate her probation. Will Linsday go back to jail for what happened on the set?
Jail does come up in the article. The director tells Lindsay that she will be playing a failed actress and that rejection is formative. "Well it's nothing like going to jail I can tell you that" Lindsay replies.
At one point Lindsay was fired and then pounded on the director's door demanding to be re-hired. Security was called but thankfully they the director did not have Lindsay arrested for causing a public affray.
The film's selling point is that it also features real life porn star James Deen and apparently there is a racy sex scene. Since presumably the sex is simulated the scene would not be covered by LA's new condom law. Lindsay was reluctant to shoot the scene and it became a major contract dispute. The Director Paul Shrader supposedly stripped naked to convince her. Shrader might have set himself up for sexual harassment charges but apparently it did the trick. Lindsay did the scene.
The writer suggests that after the scene Lindsay was drinking and driving. That would definitely violate her proabtion. Lindsay has communicated with EW.com stating that she was neither drinking nor driving.
Luckily the mere fact that an observer saw her, but there is no video tape and certainly no breath test. Lindsay probably is lucky. Had she been in an accident, that would be another article.
Miraculously the film was completed. Now the only issue is whether it makes enough money to pay back its investors. I sense that this film might end up in court before the final credits run.
