Ok, file this one under “Really stupid idea that would still make a billion dollars”. There is word going around right now that a live action Sailor Moon movie could be in the works, and that the girl being looked at for the lead sailor herself is none other than Lindsay Lohan. Oh my sweet heavens.
The good folks over at Cinematical offer us this:
The story comes from the Japanese magazine called Animage, who report Fox has claimed the rights to Sailor Moon, and hopes to make a live-action, English langauage version of the popular story. And that’s not all! The magazine further reports Fox’s desire to enlist the writing/directing talents of geek kingpin Joss Whedon, and the acting … erhem … talents of Lindsay Lohan, presumably for the title character.
Good grief. Is it just me or does this sound like a result of a Saturday Night Live skit about movie executives brainstorming?
THe Joss Whedon thing I almost find understandable… since he has a track record of doing strong female lead characters (ie Buffy and now Wonder Woman). But come on… REALLY?
