After her DUI arrest Lindsay Lohan checked into Promises rehab facility, which led to speculation that her newest movie would be canceled. But Lindsay lucked out. According to People, the film's producers Rob Hickman and Shirley MacLaine are not firing her.
The producers of Lindsay Lohan's next film, Poor Things, plan to keep her on the cast and will juggle the shooting schedule to accommodate her rehabilitation stint, they told PEOPLE on Wednesday.
"We have been asked by Lindsay to comply with her wishes to continue working on Poor Things," producers Rob Hickman and Shirley MacLaine, who will also star in the dark comedy, say in a statement. "We are trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation. We wish her love and the blending of mind, body and spirit."
Filming was scheduled to begin Thursday in Los Angeles. The film is based on the true story of two women who murder homeless men and then cash in on their life insurance policies.
The statement from the Poor Things producers offered the first assurance that Lohan's career will remain on track despite her problems on and off movie sets.
Lohan admitted herself on Memorial Day to what her rep called "an intensive medical rehabilitation facility" after she was cited for DUI.
If Shirley MacLaine wanted her off the film, Lindsay would be off the film. So that was a nice gesture. But Lindsay better not mess up this last chance.
