About the only thing we can imagine Quentin Tarantino and Lindsay Lohan collaborating on would be a booze and drug-filled binge somewhere south of the border in a bar operated by vampires.
Not so! says the interwebs, who speculate that Tarantino has a horror movie project with a “hardcore” role in mind for Lindsay.
Apparently Robert Rodriguez, collaborator on “Grindhouse” and longtime pal of Tarantino, was so wowed by Lohan’s performance on the set of the upcoming “Machete” (we have good reason to doubt this, as we hear a machete is being taken to most of her scenes) that he recommended her to Quentin.
“Lindsay is just the kind of character Quentin loves,” the Daily Telegraph quoted an insider as saying adding, that the director went on to say he could “cast Lindsay in almost anything.” And thus, pointless internet rumors were born. Adding fuel to the minor fire, a random, probably fake insider says the most likely fictitious project would cast Lohan as “a shocking, hardcore character but it will put her back on the map much as Quentin did for John Travolta.”
Much speculation has gone into what Tarantino’s post “Inglourious Basterds” project will be (we’ve got a handy rundown right here) but we here at the Playlist highly doubt it will be a horror film with the likes of Lindsay Lohan starring. If this is the case, however, we hope it involves a fully loaded, death proof VW Beetle. –B.T. Webster
