Linds Gets Gotti

Lindsay Lohan (pictured at right, on the right – ha!) is once again on the brink of a comeback.

The embattled former Next Big Thing is attached to Gotti: Three Generations, a Nick Cassavetes-directed, John Travolta-starring indie about the late mob kingpin.

L2 would play Gotti’s daughter Victoria, and although she’s still in talks to join the cast officially, that didn’t keep her from attending – as a guest, not a crasher! – a press conference in New York yesterday where the powers that be announced the project.

“Lindsay is a terrific actress. I’m glad to have her here today,” said one of the movie’s producers. “We’re in talks. Nothing’s finalized.”

So I guess we’ll see if this little vehicle can bring our little Linds lost back. Travolta seems to think so.

“I know whatever she would like to do would be great,” he said.

Update 1: Well, that was quick.

A little more than a week after being part of the announcement of Gotti: Three Generations, Lindsay Lohan and the movie’s producers has ended conversations about her being involved in it.

“We are not talking any further about Lindsay playing Victoria [Gotti],” said the same producer quoted above on April 20. “She is no longer being considered. The talks have stopped.”

Her legal battles reportedly were not a issue.

Nick Cassavetes also has left the project, btw, due to a scheduling conflict with another movie.

Update 2: Just hours after leaving the Gotti project, Linds and producers saw eye to eye again, and the actress rejoined the project.

Lohan still will not be playing Victoria Gotti, though, but rather Kim Gotti, John Gotti Jr.’s wife. He deal includes a part in another movie titled Mob Street, written by Chazz Palminteri.
