Lindsay Lohan will be just fine if her reality-TV career on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network crashes and burns. She is set to star in a low-budget movie being financed by a pair of convicted cocaine dealers who are accused of orchestrating a contract killing in Moscow.
Lohan was partying into the wee hours at the Sundance Film Festival last week with her lawyer David Feldman at the pop-up Bungalow 8 in Park City, Utah.
The late nights are further evidence that Winfrey is not getting the heartwarming story of recovery and redemption she was hoping for when she signed Lohan to the eight-episode show in August after Lohan’s latest stint in rehab.
But LiLo’s backup plan is “Inconceivable,” produced by Randall Emmett and George Furla, whose 70 credits include “2 Guns,” “Lone Survivor,” “Alex Cross,” “Broken City,” “The Tomb” and “Righteous Kill.”
Emmett and Furla have $525 million in financial backing from Remington Chase and Stefan Martirosian, whose backgrounds, according to LA Weekly, include “convictions for cocaine trafficking; ties to the Russian oil business, the Armenian government and the African diamond trade; and stints as federal informants.”
“Most disturbing are allegations that they orchestrated a contract killing in Moscow — allegations that the Moscow police took seriously enough to investigate,” the exhaustively researched story said.
“Perfect combo for Lindsay,” laughed one Hollywood veteran.
Lohan sourced the script for “Inconceivable” and will be credited as one of the producers of the $6 million movie. According to a press release from Emmett/Furla Films, she’ll play Katie, “a young woman on a journey to reclaim something that she’s lost.” Her career, perhaps?
