Lindsay Lohan Wants to Do a TV Series About Russia. Really. Maybe.

Lindsay Lohan, who hasn’t been culturally relevant since Mean Girls… OK, MAYBE Herbie: Fully Loaded (I’m still stunned that she’s only turning 31… it seems like she’s been around for at least five decades), was talking up a storm at a party at the Cannes Film Festival. It’s uncertain what accent she used.  She was saying that she’s working with a partner of Netflix to do a television show centered around Russian oligarchs. I have no idea why she’d be thinking of doing something about that topic, it’s not like Russia or oligarchies have been in the news lately. Oh. Wait. Yes, it seems like Ms. Lohan IS trying to keep up with the times.

As is the custom of many of these “projects” within Hollywood circles, it seemed like a lot of what was going to happen in the air. Right now, it’s in the writing stage. That’s where a lot of these projects remain. I have a novel that’s been in that stage for 17 years, but that’s neither here nor there. She’s apparently uncertain what her actual role could be – a source there told media that she “plans to act and co-direct or direct, but said she hasn’t decided yet.” Well, she needs to decide quickly, since if a certain orange-skinned politician finds himself bounced from his position of higher office, this might wind up joining my novel in limbo.

Netflix hasn’t confirmed anything. To be fair, though, they could just be really busy getting ready to roll out The Defenders soon. This could also be their way of saying, “Um. We have NO idea what she’s talking about. Please don’t ask us any more questions about it.”

Until we all get a definitive answer, we can wait for Lohan’s movie, The Shadow Within, which is about a detective that’s also a werewolf. Yes. A werewolf detective. Amazingly, Uwe Boll was not involved, though it sounds like something that would be right up his alley.
