Paul Shrader Gives Lindsay Lohan A Slap On The Wrist For Her Absense From 'The Canyons' Promotion
It seems that Lindsay Lohan is continuing her erratic behavior, to the point where she has now peeved off even her previously sympathetic Canyons director Paul Shrader. The director, who previously excused Lohan’s absence from the Venice Film Festival, calling her a “talented, but unpredictable star,” has now spoken out against her for not taking part in the film’s promotion as well.
Shrader didn’t stop there. Later on in the post, he theorized about the reasons behind Lindsay shirking her promotional duties. “I can only surmise that Lindz had decided that Canyons is part of a reprobate past she must put behind her in order to move forward,” he writes. “She was never comfortable working with James Deen and perhaps this still sticks in her craw. I assume those closet to her, her family and reps, had advised her to treat Canyons as an indiscretion.”
However, Shrader expressed the hope that Lohan will henceforth treat The Canyons as the “extraordinary piece of work” that he sees it to be. After listing all the promotional opportunities that the star had missed, Shrader finished on a positive note, claiming that he is also hoping for Lindsay to reclaim a healthy life and career and that he believes that the movie constitutes that much needed career growth for the actress.
