So one of the most notable female actresses of this generation is teaming up with one of the most non-notable fluff actor of our generation.
Cinema Blend says:
MTV says The Best Time of Our Lives is about Welsh poet Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin caught in a machine gun/hand grenade driveby, but when talking about the film with the musicless music television channel Lindsay seems more interested in potentially making out with her co-star Keira Knightley. Lindsay plays Caitlin and Keria plays her friend and wife of the man who blows up their house. Lohan told MTV, “[Keira] is older than me, but she kind of has a mysterious relationship with my lover… And then there’s somewhat of a lesbian undertone.”
Ok, you still with me? You are stuck on the whole lesbian thing right?? Keep in mind that they said “lesbian undertone” not “a movie about lesbians. You do realize that this is not a story about a lesbian love affair. There is actually a story in there.
The real story here is that Lindsay and Keira are doing something serious for a change, a movie about one of the 20th Century’s most celebrated drunken poets. The movie will explore what in Dylan and Caitlin’s life led them to the middle of an explosive maelstrom and should contain at least a little on screen binge drinking from whoever ends up playing Thomas.
This could be a defining point for Lindsay Lohan. If she can pull off a good job, she might just make a turning point in her career. I can honestly say her fluff roles in movies are entertaining enough, but to think of her in a serious dramatic role? This isnt the first we hear of a fluff actor wanting to turn serious, but I am equally reluctant to buy into it. Knightley in a serious role. Sure, no problem there. She can nail that. But Lohan? I dont know that people will buy that.
The two of them getting frisky together? That I can see. Im picturing it right now.
Can Lohan do serious drama? What do you think?
