Model and heiress Lydia Hearst Shaw will play Lindsay Lohan in a comic film `Dogs in Pocketbooks` based on the troubled starlet.
"Lydia
will play a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with
the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, off-the-wall
stalkers and crazed media - a role obviously based on Lindsay Lohan,"
the New York Post quoted screenwriter Charles Casillo as saying.
"I
spent a lot of time casting for the right actress for this screwball
comedy, but Lydia is perfect. She``s one of the few supermodels who can
actually act.
"She`s
smart, well-read, charming and very beautiful. We looked at a lot of
actresses for this role, and I was really knocked out.
"[The
movie] is in no way mean-spirited towards Lindsay. It``s the kind of
thing she has spoofed about herself in the past. It``s more of a satire
about the crazy people around her and the situations they generate. It
satirizes the obsession with modern celebrity," Casillo added.
`Dynasty`
icon Joan Collins will star as a high-powered agent in the picture,
which starts shooting in New York and in LA in February.
"The
script is a hoot - a satire on the crazed hysteria surrounding show-biz
celebrities. I`m playing an aggressive, sexy, powerful woman. For a
change," Collins said.
