Lindsay Lohan Not Joining 'A Nightmare On Elm Street'

Lindsay Lohan has been cast as the lead female role in the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street, the film’s producer Andrew Form confirms exclusively to JustJared.com.

“We were lucky to receive a call from Jason Weinberg, Lindsay‘s manager,” Andrew tells JustJared.com. “He called us to tell us that Lindsay was very interested in the film and wanted to be a part of it. We called Jason back after Wesley Strick finished the script and asked if Lindsay wanted to look at the first draft. She looked it over and loved it. She thought this was the perfect vehicle for her.”

Andrew and Bradley Fuller, who produced the remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, will be with producing the Nightmare remake. Also on board is Michael Bay, who directed both Transformers films.

Michael, Bradley and I couldn’t imagine having a better actress for the part and without an audition we cast her,” Andrew adds.

It was announced yesterday that famed music video director Samuel Bayer will be directing the horror flick.

Tidbits: One Tree Hill‘s Sophia Bush auditioned for the role, as well as Danielle Panabaker, who stars in Friday the 13th…in theaters today, Friday the 13th!

UPDATE 1: Laaaaaaame! Someone apparently punk’d me and is trying to ruin my reputation. Rude. This business is shady! Yes, Lindsay‘s rep has confirmed she will not be starring in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Deepest apologies. Lesson learned. But if this role is up for grabs, they should cast Lindsay!

UPDATE 2: That was helpful. I just got off the phone with the real Andrew Form! A casting director has not been hired yet for this project but I will now be kept in the loop when real casting news hits. Thank you for making this happen, Mister Impersonator!

You guys are idiots. Lindsay is a good actress, you can’t deny that but knowing alll the stupid **** that she does people see past her acting & see that yeah, she’s a trainwreckkk but don’t say she can’t act. I love her and I only focus on her acting, I don’t care if she’s coked up or whatever. She is a talented actress. I love Nightmare on Elm Street. I used to watch alll of the movies. I hope Lindsay puts her alll in this film.

Hate Lindsey Lohan………why the hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll did they pick her of all people??? I used to love her in The Parent Trap but she pulled so much sh*t after that, I’ve lost all respect for her. She’ just like the other Hollywood bimbos.

Lindsey Hohan, WTF?? This movie will definitely suck ass.

Thumb up Thumb down 0

I’m glad Sophia isnot going to be in this movie, this movie looks like it’s going to suck! Lindsay is a good actress, but she fucked up her career and most people don’t want to see a movie with her in it.

The millennium sure has alot of remakes. I just don’t see the need to remake a classic like the original. If people think it’s dated then buy it on HD. The film is great in HD.
