London,
(ANI):
Producers
of
American
singer/actress
Lindsay
Lohan"s
upcoming
film
based
on
porn
star
Linda
Lovelace
have
denied
reports
that
they
have
sacked
her.
It
was
reported
that
the
producers
had
began
auditioning
other
actresses
for
the
lead
role
but
they
denied
the
rumours
insisting
that
the
stories
are
'completely
unfounded
and
untrue".
The
Mean
Girls
star
had
landed
the
part
of
the
troubled
porn
icon
in
upcoming
film
Inferno:
A
Linda
Lovelace
Story,
but
her
role
in
the
production
was
thrown
into
jeopardy
when
she
was
sentenced
to
90
days
in
jail
for
violating
her
probation.
The
film"s
director
Matthew
Wilder
has
pledged
to
support
Lohan,
insisting
that
the
project
will
be
put
on
hold
until
she
is
available,
but
his
promise
has
failed
to
prevent
rumours
of
a
recast.
It
was
reported
that
movie
bosses
got
tired
of
waiting
for
Lohan,
who
was
released
from
jail
on
02
August,
2010
and
will
spend
the
next
90
days
in
a
rehab
clinic,
but
Wilder
and
producer
Chris
Hanley
refused
such
claims.
“The
producers
and
director
of
Inferno,
the
story
of
Linda
Lovelace,
have
been
aware
of
certain
media
articles
indicating
there
had
been
some
alternative
actors
considered
for
the
Lovelace
role
other
than
Lindsay
Lohan," a
statement,
released
to
E!
Online
said.
“These
stories
are
completely
unfounded
and
untrue.
The
current
production
schedule,
which
works
around
Lohan"s
current
court
obligations,
has
a
start
of
photography
in
November
of
this
year." The
statement
added,
reports
The
Daily
Star.
“The
creative
team
behind
Inferno:
A
Linda
Lovelace
Story
wishes
to
express
our
renewed
support
for
Lindsay
Lohan.
We
never
considered
recasting
Inferno,
and
never
would
recast
it.
There
is
no
actor
more
ideally
suited
to
this
role
than
Lindsay,
and
we
are
content
to
start
production
after
she
finishes
what
the
court
mandated,"
it
further
said.
