Lindsay Lohan no longer playing Linda Lovelace

It looked like it was going to be a chance for Lindsay Lohan to finally regain some respectability, and prove her worth as an actress again.

But now director Matthew Wilder has told E! News that Lohan will no longer star in Inferno, the biopic of Deep Throat star Linda Lovelace.

Wilder said: "We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan… We are currently in negotiations [with another actress] and working on the legalities of bringing her on board."

"We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long time with a lot of love and support. Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her - and some other issues - have made it impossible for us to go forward."

Tomorrow E! News will be announcing the identity of the 'amazing actress' who is lined up to replace Lohan.

It will be a blow for Lohan, who has recently made something of a comeback appearance in Robert Rodriguez's Machete, as she seemed like perfect casting for the troubled starlet.

Earlier this year Wilder announced that the production would wait for Lohan while she was serving jail time.

Anyone who has seen documentary Inside Deep Throat will know there's an interesting story to be told here, and it could have been a great dramatic role for Lohan.

Johnny Depp to play Tonto in The Lone Ranger

Gore Verbinski may not have returned to direct Johnny Depp in the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, but evidently there’s no bad blood between the two.

Not only have they just finished work together on CGI animated movie Rango, they’ve also signed on to create a movie update of The Lone Ranger.

Based on the infamous ‘50s radio and TV show, the movie has been rattling around production limbo since 2007, when it was first announced that producer Jerry Bruckheimer was keen to craft a Pirates-style take on The Lone Ranger with Verbinski.

Now Deadline report that a deal’s been struck with the director, while Depp has signed to play Tonto, the Native American companion to the titular Ranger. Which clearly indicates that Depp will be jumping into the dressing up box again.

No word who will be playing the Ranger, most famously played by Clayton Moore for 208 episodes of the TV series. Could Verbinski be keen on a Depp-Orlando Bloom re-team?

Depp and Verbinski’s next film, Rango, will open on 4 March, 2011.

Apollo 18 poster unveiled

Two footprints – one human, one something else – meet in moon dust on the enigmatic poster for new found footage film Apollo 18.

Though it’s due out Stateside as early as March 2011, next to nothing plotwise is known about the movie.

What we do know is that it’s based around a secret mission to the moon that ends with humans coming in contact with aliens. Considering it’s all reportedly relayed to us as found footage, we can guess the encounter doesn’t go well.

Wanted and Night Watch director Timur Bekmambetov is producing, while Spanish director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego is behind the camera.
